I think this is a practical and reasonable compromise. From at least my
perspective, this does not put an unreasonable additional burden on printers
while making potentially easier for clients to achieve and claim
compliance.

Subject: [IPP] IPP Everywhere and "The Great Compromise"
All,
We discussed the PWG Last Call comments received thus far at today's IPP WG
conference call. Two of the comments concerned the client requirements to
support DNS-SD for discovery and both PWG Raster and JPEG for document
formats. After over an hour of spirited debate, the following "great
compromise" was proposed to resolve the last call comments:
1. Discovery:
a. Printers MUST support both DNS-SD and WS-Discovery (adds WS-Discovery)
b. Clients MUST support at least one of DNS-SD and WS-Discovery (Clients
can choose amongst the two required protocols)
2. Document Formats:
a. Printers MUST support both JPEG and PWG Raster (no change)
b. Clients MUST support at least one of JPEG and PWG Raster (relaxes
conformance - previously a Client had to support both)
Please comment on the proposed changes.
