Chris,
In general I'm in favor of adding these. Some feedback below...
FWIW, the "media-back-coating", "media-front-coating", "media-recycled", and "media-weight" member attributes are supposed to be used for this stuff, but honestly they have very few implementations and are not needed 99.99% of the time. We also have already added other "media-type" values that capture weight and coating...
Here is your request in the official registration template format (with my naming changes as noted below):
Attributes (attribute syntax)
Keyword Attribute Value Reference
----------------------- ---------
media-type (type2 keyword | name(MAX)) [PWG5100.7]

cardstock-weavyweight-coated [XEROX20201202]

Funny, I thought we ended up adding this one already, but turns out not. There was some discussion back in 2001 asking for it and stationery-bond, and neither ended up being added.

Based on stationery, these should have the weight first, e.g.:
cardstock-lightweight-coated
cardstock-heavyweight-coated

> cardstock-heavyweight

>> The same as any other IPP keyword value - send an email to the list with your request and we'll discuss it.
