Jay,
I suggest that since, as you have observed, the PWG spends so much time
revisiting decisions that have been made, we not revisit the IPP
notification requirements. They were based on a set of scenarios that
Carl-Uno posted to the mail list and that were discussed in some detail. The
scenarios are still available on the site.
I would also observe that there has been talk of "decisions" made at
meetings (which participants assumed were final) which were not perhaps not
fully publicized on the mail list. In an IETF context, group participants
that do not attend the face to face meetings have a valid point in arguing
that no such decisions were ever made.

I'm a printing customer interested in this thing called IPP.
Would someone be so kind as to elucidate the compelling reasons
and benefits for having multiple notification recipients. I
guess I understand the concept. I just don't quite see the value.
Please be patient and contribute what you can to this thread,
since it will likely be referenced later on when real customers
ask these kinds of questions, and it would be nice to have the
summary background and rationale in a small, digestable format.
(Have you ever seen a customer choke when you hand them a copy
of the IPP spec? It's not a pretty sight, I assure you. ;-)
