Guys,
Please note that Section 9 of RFC2910 does discuss backwards compatibility
with IPP/1.0 including some text relating to the HTTP scheme as opposed to
the IPP scheme. Admittedly that text is not vey explicit.
If you like to see more details on the URL subject, my suggestion is to put
it in the Implementer's Guide.

> 1 Compatibility with IPP/1.0
> For compatibility with IPP/1.0, clients and IPP objects (i.e. a server)
> MUST support additional schemes as described in this section:
>
> · If a server receives an IPP/1.0 request, it MUST return an IPP/1.0
> response. That is, it MUST support an http-URL in the target "printer-uri"
> and "job-uri" operation attributes in a request. If the server
> returns any
> of the 3 attributes, "job-uri", "job-printer-uri" or
> "printer-uri-supported" in the response, the value of these
> attributes MUST
> be http-URLs. For security, a server MAY also support https-URLs.
> · When a server returns the printer attribute "printer-uri-supported",
> it MUST return all supported values for an IPP/NV request. For an IPP/1.0
> request, a server MUST NOT return values that are ipp-URLs, i.e. it MUST
> return only the http-URLs and https-URLs.
> · The table below shows the type of URL that a server returns for the
> "job-uri" and "job-printer-uri" job attributes for all operations based on
> how the job was created. The "or" in the table below indicates an
