Hi,
I agree with Mike - if this is a PWG standards-track document, then there
needs
to be a top-level section "Conformance Requirements" and subsections for
"IPP Client Conformance Requirements" and "IPP Printer Conformance
Requirements" (not exhaustive - just pointers to the named sections
elsewhere
that contain detailed conformance requirements).
See IPP 2.0 Second Edition (PWG 5100.12) for conformance examples.
By recent tradition, we have done all the REQUIRED features in prototypes.
But PWG Process 3.0 does *not* have a prototype definition that mandates
this coverage.
For the IPP Implementors Guide v2, we might want to be less exhaustive (or
we may not get prototype reports, which would be counterproductive).
Cheers,
- Ira
