[IPP] media-type names and cotton?

[Ira McDonald]

Hi Pete,

The IANA IPP Registry is flat for a given attribute (e.g., media-type),
and sorted alphabetically by keyword values, so "stationery" (base
keyword) comes first and is followed by all of the qualified keywords,
e.g., "stationery-coated".

Cheers,
- Ira
