I like Roy's suggestion. It seems to be completely self-describing.
Alternatively, since the protocol only deals with notification *delivery*
(and not creating, querying, canceling, and extending the lease of
subscriptions), we could make it even more specific:
5. IPP Notification Delivery Protocol over HTTP

Excellent advice. Does anybody have any good suggestions? ("Fred's least
efficient mechanism for RPC" is a bit long and bitter). Plain "IPP
Notification Protocol" would seem to imply that this is the "blessed"
notification delivery method for IPP and I don't think we've crossed that
bridge. Here are some to start with:
1. IPP's HTTP-Based Notification Protocol
2. IPP Notification Protocol Over HTTP (this was suggested by Roy?)
3. IPP Notification Extensions (for those who think this is the same
protocol as IPP)
4. IPP Notification Protocol
Cheers,

I would really appreciate it if future revisions of this draft would not
refer to itself as the HTTP notification protocol. Call it the IPP
notification protocol over HTTP, or "Fred's least efficient mechanism
for RPC', but please do not call it HTTP.
