[ira] Yes - this is a good summary.  I might invert the last sentence to say
"This document also extends two existing operations:  Purge-Jobs and Get-Jobs
both have an optional "job-ids" operation attribute added to operate on a
specific list of jobs, instead of on all jobs."

[ira] Each IPP spec (including this one) needs to define conformance ONLY to
itself (without reference to any IPP/1.1 or IPP/2.x level at all).  IPP/2.2
is NOT currently defined, but will include this spec and four others (PWG
5100.3, .5, .6, and .8) and a number of new required operations and
attributes.

[ira] Since job-state-reasons is REQUIRED in IPP/1.1 (RFC 2911), we should
make the appropriate job-state-reasons values REQUIRED or CONDITIONALLY
REQUIRED, as appropriate.

[ira] There should be a new top-level section 3 Requirements that contains
(at a minimum) section 3.1 Rationale (for this spec), section 3.2 Use Cases
(at least two - can be brief), and section 3.3 Design Requirements (for this
spec).  IPP PSX (PWG 5100.9) has a good example.
I volunteered to write a first draft - I've just been very busy with Power
Model - but I'll look into it this coming week.

[ira] IPP/2.0 contains a later top-level section Editors' Addresses (which
is current best practice in PWG specs).  I prefer the word "Editor" to
"Author" (currently used in IPP JPS2 spec).
