Paul,

You've specified that no DTD is required, but that an
implementation could use a DTD as it saw fit, etc.

How then is the "official" specification of the IPP
XML text supposed to be standardized? I would have
thought that the use of a DTD would be good for this,
even though *use* of the DTD by a client or server is
not required for protocol interaction.

Note that I am assuming a DTD is itself a useful document,
not being very well versed in XML/DTD stuff.
