IPP> Question about Job Template attributes

For each job template attribute there is the associated default and
supported values. I have a question about the xxx-supported values.

Imagine a printer that say supports binding which may be controlled by
various PDL commands, but does not support controlling binding via the IPP
finishings job template attribute. Should the printer response to
finishings-supported include binding or not? I assume that it should not
include binding as this would give the idea to the client that binding can
be controlled with the finishings attribute. Thus, xxx-supported is not
intended to indicate printer capabilities, but rather support for the IPP
attributes. Is this correct?

Thanks,

Stuart Rowley
