IANAL, but an application claiming to offer Internet Fax capabilities will likely be subject to the same regulations that traditional fax is subject to. Naturally this will depend on local laws and regulations, and certainly if the destination is an ipp: or ipps: URI then the job ticket/accounting information can be passed out-of-band rather than embedded in the delivered images.

Generally speaking, we (the PWG) do not like embedding job ticket/accounting information in the PDL.

I don't think we can require push scan support, as the hardware requirements may preclude support on some printers (think: non-networked MFDs that support IPP USB and the various IPP services...) And more to the point, push scan can be simulated even by embedded/mobile devices that might be used to initiate a scan.

(and FWIW, I would argue it would be more useful than the Scan2 key, since at least then you are discovering a delivery capability that cannot be easily reproduced in software...)
> [Soma] If the case for PushScan exists and if a device supports it, then I can see Scan2 (or Fax2) in TXT record being useful especially with the discovery features in Wifi-Direct/P2P and in a kiosk like environment where the IPP client may not have other network connectivity.
WFDS has its own service descriptors and does not use Bonjour. At present, Bonjour is only used for Infrastructure Wi-Fi and wired networking, not P2P.
