It appears that ftp truncated 16 bytes off one file and 18 off of another
even though I remember using binary mode. The files were both corrupted
at around byte 60,000

So I have downloaded new files, which at least have the correct byte count.
I removed all the old corrupt files.

They are in:

ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/new_PRO.

The files are

ipp-pro-971023.doc MS Word with no revision marks
ipp-pro-971023-rev.doc MS Word with revisions marks
ipp-pro-971023.txt text with no revision marks

The revisions are with respect to the October 14 release.

The changes are:

The revisions are for the following issues:

Peter Zehler's request for clarifications with no changes to protocol

A minor typo in the grammar.

Changes for notification removal -- none

Changes for charset and language: description of text, examples, table
of attributes for operations.

bug fix: I found that the naturalLanguage type couldn't be used with
both the value of the attribute attributes-natural-language and
to override one attribute value because in the former case the
value stands alone and in the latter case it combines with the
following text or name value. So I added a compoundValue value-tag
type whose value specifies the number of following "values" that
form a compound value. A name with a Canadian French override
would consists of 3 "values": a compoundValue whose value is 2,
a naturalLanguage whose value is "fr-CA" and the name value.
(This solution is slightly different from the one I put in yesterday's
version, but this is a more general solution that offers extensibility
for things like a charset override.)
