I found another case that seems borderline: iso_id-1_53.98x85.6mm and
om_card_54x86mm (both added in
https://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/registrations/canon-media-20180329.txt)
are technically not the same size, but the dimensions differ by <0.5mm
in both dimensions.  CUPS treats them as the same size by default
because of this.  Any thoughts on whether the CUPS behavior is correct
here?  If it is then this is another duplicate.

Thanks,
Benjamin
