Is the XML metadata addition being used as a replacement for what might be conveyed over IPP as IPP attributes (e.g. "job ticket" type info)?

>> The PDF Raster spec claims that it can be consumed by a simple parser, but I don't see how given that images can be banded - you will still need to implement a minimal page stream interpreter along with random access to the image objects.
>> Finally, it looks like a PDF writer could generate a PDF file that conforms to BOTH PDF/is and PDF Raster - thus an IPP Scan implementation could (as part of the general PDF support requirement) produce PDF scan files compatible with both standards. But again, I don't think we need to update IPP Scan for this...
