DRMAA_JOB_CATEGORY & DRMAA_NATIVE_SPEC

The following mandatory attribute definitions in the DRMAA spec are very unclear to me, I do not see how they differ. 
The end-user in this case is the one programming with the API yes? I think there is no need of mention of an end user 
really.

job category ( string )
An implementation-defined string specifying how to resolve site-specific resources
and/or policies.
The attribute name is drmaa_job_category.

native specification ( string )
An implementation-defined string that is passed by the end user to DRMAA to specify
site-specific resources and/or policies.
The attribute name is drmaa_native_specification.

RE: DRMAA_JOB_CATEGORY & DRMAA_NATIVE_SPEC

native specification 
is is a string that is a set of DRM system command line options.
It is set by end user at run time.

job category 
is also a string, but is like a symbolic reference (a pointer ). It is used by DRMAA implementation to resolve set of 
options or policies that is governing execution for that job category. It is implementation dependent, i.e. DRMAA does 
not specifies the syntax, interaction, etc.

It is meant to be set by an application or system administrator at installation time.
