Clients SHOULD supply the "requested-attributes" operation attribute whenever they require the current "finishings-col-database" value.

Would it be reasonable or acceptable to make it so that "finishings-col-database" was withheld from Get-Printer-Attributes responses unless it was explicitly named in the "requested-attributes" attribute included in the IPP request? The "finishings-col-ready" could be included by default, but no the full database.
