Hi Tom,
My two cents - these profiles (i.e., version 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, etc.) should ONLY
make whole IPP standards specs (IETF or PWG) mandatory, conditionally
mandatory, or optional.
Although there has been speculation that individual operations (but NOT
attributes) might be raised in requirements level from their original specs,
I'm opposed to doing so.
The sole function of the IPP/2.x effort should be simply to encourage more
widespread implementation of the many IPP extensions (a set of content
much larger than the entire original IPP/1.1 protocol). And to simplify the
description of such higher implementation functionality for end users.
Changing specific requirements levels *within* particular IPP specs is a
slippery slope that would destroy the IPP/2.x effort (and violate the PWG
Process/2.0 rules).
Bear in mind that the PWG Process/2.0 is much more rigorous than past
PWG practice. Actual prototypes are REQUIRED before a document can
even enter PWG Last Call, much less be adopted. It remains to be seen
if this can be achieved for IPP/2.x.
Cheers,
- Ira
