What about a media with a glossy back finish but a matte front
finish? Do you then explicitly include the "matte" for the front
finish?
Also, this requires the parser to know what keywords go with what
attribute - that is, "matte" is a finish attribute, and "bond" is
a media type name, "80-gram" is a media weight, etc...
If we are going to make this a "standard", then we probably want
to require any intervening names to be included, for example:
na-letter.8500-11000.red
should be:
na-letter.8500-11000.stationary.plain.red
or:
na-letter.8500-11000...red
with any unspecified fields *after* the last one set to the
default (or matching any value)
This is one of the reasons I think we should not try to add
all-in-one names to the spec, but should use the existing
mechanisms (e.g. for IPP the "media-col" attribute) and just
standardize the naming of the values.
