Note 1 / Note 2 / Note 3 for tables listing required operations or attributes should be reworded or removed

From prior discussions, the consensus seemed to be to remove the notes entirely.

Smith Kennedy May 12, 2016

On page 35, below table 5, there are 3 notes:

   Note 1: REQUIRED in addition to those operations defined for the IPP/2.0
   conformance level.
   Note 2: REQUIRED in addition to those operations defined for the IPP/2.0 and
   IPP/2.1 conformance levels.
   Note 3: REQUIRED in addition to those operations defined for the IPP/2.0, IPP/2.1,
   and IPP/2.2 conformance levels

Similar notes exist below Table 6, Table 7, Table 8 and Table 9.  The meaning of these notes is confusing and misleading.  One might for instance interpret  Note 2 to mean that an attribute with "note 2" is only required for IPP/2.1 printers.  In fact, all the operations and attributes that are annotated with "note 1", "note 2", or "note 3" are required.

Either these 3 notes should be eliminated or their purpose should be more clear.
