In Savannah, we weren't sure about one of Carl's questions. He has elab=
orated
as follows...

The MOD doc says:

Some attributes are defined as 'type3 keyword | name'. These attribute=
s
support values that are either type3 keywords or names. This dual-synt=
ax
mechanism enables a site administrator to extend these attributes to le=
gally
include values that are locally defined by the site administrator. Suc=
h names
are not registered with IANA.
Example: job-hold-until (type3 keyword | name (MAX))

Printer administrator configures Printer such that (1setOf type3 keywor=
d |
name)"job-hold-until-supported" contains two values:
(type3 keyword)'second-shift' and
(name)'one-of-these-days'.
Client request [with "attribute-fidelity" =3D (boolean)true] contains
"job-hold-until" attribute with value (name)'second-shift'.

Does the Printer reject the request and return "job-hold-until" attribu=
te with
value (name)'second-shift' in the unsupported attributes group? Or doe=
s it
accept (name)'second-shift' as a match for (type3 keyword)'second-shift=
' and
accept the request?
