Roger,

defining a standard API for IPP might be a good idea in general, but I
would strongly recommend that we focus our attention on getting the model
and protocol sorted out first.

To my knowledge, IETF does not deal with standards for APIs, so the PWG
would need to look at organizations such as IEEE or X/Open to host any such
future work.
