Hi Bob and Carl,
I checked on this - IANA registered URLs in the IETF Tree
MUST NOT contain hyphens (see bottom of page 3 in RFC 2717,
Registration Procedures for URL Scheme Names, November 1999).
Cheers,

Perhaps this case can be ignored. I was hoping to avoid this complexity, and
I'm not sure if a Printer would want to guarantee to hold on to all Event
Notifications for several hours. Suppose at noon, someone sets
"job-hold-until" to 'night' and then at 4pm changes it to 'evening' or
'no-hold'. If the Printer has told the client to query again at the
beginning of the 'night' shift or even several hours before night shift, the
Job may have completed with many Event Notifications by then.

It had been "ipp-get", but in Pittsburgh we decided to remove the hyphen.
URLs can have hyphens, but none in the IANA registry have hyphens. We
decided to call it "ippget". So the next release will have "ippget".
Perhaps, you were thinking that "ippget" should be called "ipppoll" and the
one and I am proposing called "ippget"?
