Ira,
I'm not sure about adoption on these keywords (I've never seen them in the wild), but I'm not keen on changing already-registered values.
Upon further review/thought, it seems to me that the xxx-recoverable-storage-error keywords could all have the -error, -report, or -warning (as appropriate) suffixes, while the xxx-unrecoverable-storage-error keywords all seem to require user interaction and should stop the printer. So as an alternative to my original proposal we could:
- Register all xxx-recoverable-storage-error keywords as xxx-recoverable-storage and note that implementations must choose the correct suffix (-error, -report, -warning) as appropriate.
- Keep the xxx-unrecoverable-storage-error keywords and note that the printer must be in the stopped state when reporting them.
The advantage is that existing implementations are unaffected, the mapping from the MIBs to IPP remains "clean", and we set precedent for printer-state-reasnos keywords: when registering a keyword with an -error, -report, or -warning suffix, that is the only allowed suffix for the keyword (no -error-error, -error-warning, etc.)
(I'm not super happy about the resulting registered names, but once you add a suffix the xxx-recoverable-storage-bla name sort of makes sense...)

>> Since an IPP Printer MAY report any of the above keywords when the Printer is not in the stopped state, I propose we add an informative note to table 5-2 saying something like the following:
