I guess I am a bit confused as to why a new ipp: scheme is *not* a
wire protocol issue. The last time that I checked, we are still
returning URLs for printer and jobs in application/ipp responses.
And, I am presuming that if we were to adopt an ipp: scheme (whether
it is an alias for something or not) we would be returning those URLs
with the ipp: scheme.
So, why is this not a protocol issue?
confused...
