After some thought, I would be happy if a server only had to implement
the HTML binding, both for query and submission.

If this is the case, I don't know why we bother to do a standard at all.
Clearly, I can gin up
whatever set of html pages (including forms java applets, etc) I want to and
since I send
them out to a browser there is no interoperability problems and the client is
forced into
whatever model I want to describe on the server side. Saying that it confomrs
to IPP is
rather uninteresting!
