How about saying that for the 'client-error-bad-request (bad syntax), that
the
IPP object doesn't return the "status-message" attribute, if supported,
since
this is a developer error. Then for bad syntax it doesn't matter what
charset
is returned in the bad syntax error response, since there aren't any 'text'
or 'name'
attributes in the error response. So may as well return the
"charset-configured"
on a bad syntax error response.
