[IPP] proposed mods to IPP everywhere spec (per my action item)

Hi Guys,

Proposed mods for wd-ippeve10-20120201:

4.2.2 Geo-Location (LOC)

Site administrators MUST (should this be a "SHOULD" ?) publish LOC records (RFC 1876) to provide the physical location of a printer. 

4.2.3 Service Information (TXT)
Site administrators MUST publish ("SHOULD" ?)….


This document is placing requirements on devices for future compliance with an IPP everywhere standard -- however, DNS requirements are NOT requirements placed on a device, but rather administrative requirements for the site DNS -- so I'm not sure that 4.2.2 and 4.2.3 belong in this document.

There's nothing a printer vendor can do to be "compliant" with 4.2.2 and 4.2.3

We may want a separate section of our documents that place requirements on the "site" where devices are installed.

Comments?

Randy
