Carl,
I agree, that you've found a typo. I would hope that we could fix PWG
standard problems like this as soon as they are found and re-post on the PWG
web site.
How should we indicate such an update?
Do we want to wait for a short period of time to see if any others are
found?
Comments?
Thanks,
Tom

What does that mean: the "printer" is sending the Input-Documents?
Shouldn't that be "client"?

There is an IPP extension that does allow the client to specify the order
of documents. See:
Internet Printing Protocol (IPP):
Override Attributes for Documents and Pages
IEEE-ISTO Printer Working Group
Standard 5100.4-2001
February 7, 2001
(ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/new_EXC/pwg5100.4.doc [and .rtf and .pdf])
9.2 Send-Document and Send-URI Operation Requests
Attributes are added to the Operation Attributes group.
Group 1: Operation Attributes
"input-document-number" (integer):
The client OPTIONALLY supplies this attribute in order to
inform the printer about the order of documents when the
printer is sending the Input-Documents asynchronously. The
first Input-Document is 1, and subsequent Input-Documents are
numbered sequentially. If the value of "last-document" is
'true', then the value of this attribute is also the total
number of Input-Documents in the Job. If a client supplies
this attribute in one Send-Document or Send-URI operation in a
Job, it MUST send it in all such operations. A Printer deals
with missing Input-Documents in the same way as without this
attribute except that a time-out can occur with
Input-Documents anywhere in the Job. For example, a Printer
could receive Input-Documents 1 and 3 and not 2.

Documents within an IPP job do not have any sense of ordering. That is,
you don't say `send document 4', you just send a document. The order they
come out on paper is the same as the order in which you send them, except
that you might request collated or uncollated copies (i.e.: "a b a b" or
"a a b b") and how things are stapled together (i.e., are a and b stapled
together, or is a one bound thing and b another).
Wendy & Norm -- I was wrong about the complete lack of ordering. The spec
(section 2.4.2 of RFC 2911) says that the document order "MUST be" either
"a b a b" (collated) or "a a b b" (uncollated).
