IPP> Storing capabilities as single text string

Hi folks,

Below is an excerpt from Ned Freed (IETF Applications Area Director)
comments on ESMTP extensions for CONNEG from the IETF Internet FAX WG
<draft-ietf-fax-esmtp-conneg-01.txt>:

"...Although several examples of returned capabilities are shown, the
document
isn't very specific about how capabilities have to be formatted. In
particular,
I'd expect to see capabilities often stored as a single string without any
line
breaks. Some advice on how to take such a string and format it for inclusion
in
the reponse seems warranted."

Note Ned's preference fill a flat string without newline characters.  Advice
worth considering (although the IPP string length of 1024 would be
problematic
here...).

Cheers,
