Wouldn't this be an instance of that?  I am guessing you have in mind more something like a late notice of a constraints conflict like "sides" = 'two-sided-long-edge' and "media-type" = 'transparency', but this seems like a similar condition - two attributes that have conflicting values.

There is also a "document-format" attribute, which is essential to the proper operation of IPP in general (filtering printer description attributes and so forth).  But the definition of "document-format-details" is ambiguous in situations where "document-format" is not a "packaging" format.
