In the realm of the document object extension, there are new
conformance requirements such as the new Close-Job operation,
additional document-format-xyz attributes that must be supported,
Print-URI and Send-URI required, etc.

Given that several other standards are being based upon the pending
document object (and other approved) specs, it might make sense to
bump the IPP version and require conformance to IPP/1.2 instead of
IPP/1.1 + these other N specs to make it clear what the requirements
are and improve interoperability.

As it is, the REQUIRED operations in the document object spec
(comments coming soon, promise!) and several other things which
sound more like a new IPP version than a simple extension will
yield a NO vote from my company...
