Main reason that I propose "document processing" is
that a TIFF file can not be printed or processed by the receiver.
The transmission of the TIFF file is ensured by TCP connection.
But there is some case that the receiver can not print because of its
capabilities.
Details are described in Lloyd-san's mail that it is possible to send a
file that contains more
than one encodings.
I am not sure what will happen if PS3 file is send to PS2 IPP printer.

IFAX may use mailto when IPP notification is extended for ifax status.

I will be grad to discuss it in IPP FAX wg.

If the file formats of IFAX and IPP are same , we can use same status for them.

Ifax status will be returned by DSN and MDN, by requesting DSN and MDN from
the transmitter.
I am not sure that mailto in IPP notification can be used as DSN and MDN.
