Carl-Uno,
At this time I see no reason to bump the major version number. If we
determine that there are on-the-wire incompatibilities with IPP 1.1 I would
have no objection to bumping the major number. I strongly object to bumping
the major number simply for political or cosmetic purposes. As of yet all
the extensions to IPP are simple extensions and utilize standard IPP
mechanisms for negotiation and graceful declination of unsupported features.
Let's keep IPP's interoperable not only for low and high end implementations
but also for version interoperability.
Pete

OK Peter I hear you laud and clear,
but maybe the PWG should give it a new major revision number, to clearly
distinguish it from the published IETF RFCs, especilly if you intend to add
new required features, that were previously optional.
As IETF chair, I am getting increasingly concerned that the traffic on the
IETF IPP DL has little or nothing to do with IETF anymore...
