Hi Pete,

Comments inline in your reply below.

All on pwg at pwg.org - this thread is the online review of a new
prtChannelType for Microsoft's WS Print protocol.

Cheers,

<Ira>  Agreed - Multiplicity should be 'Multiple' - it's an obvious bug
in 'chIPP' (which I wrote with Tom Hastings) where we said 'Single',
because the later Conformance says you should list *all* URI.
And 'ServiceURI' corresponds to 'ppmPortServiceNameOrURI'

<Ira> Yes - it works fine.  Note that the actual value is supposed to
be 'urn:uuid:...' (per RFC 4122).  The IANA registered scheme name is
'urn:uuid:' *not* just 'uuid:'.
