[IPP] IPP Scan - Is Push scanning mandatory?

[IPP] IPP Scan - Is Push scanning mandatory?

Hi Mike and Pete,

What about a simple TXT record discovery attribute for Push capability
that's boolean?
Since a bunch of URI schemes are conditionally mandatory anyway, that gets
90% of
the discovery need.

Cheers,
- Ira
