I rather suggest that we put the enum for TIFF-F now and we can add
another
for TIFF-FX now, or later if it wins. I am in the process of
implementing
an IPP prototype and i think getting a product out now is more
important
than delaying. Since I think fax over internet is going to be major use
of ipp (forget about Kinko's etc.. they will be nothing compared to fax
over internet) it is important for IPP to get this fax friendly feature
early.
