[IPP] media-type names and cotton?

That's what I figured.  I'd like to see the qualifiers '-archival', '-bond' and '-cotton' be registered for the stationery', 'cardstock',  'label', 'photographic' and 'envelope' top level values.

Hi Pete,

The IANA IPP Registry is flat for a given attribute (e.g., media-type), and sorted alphabetically by keyword values, so "stationery" (base
keyword) comes first and is followed by all of the qualified keywords, e.g., "stationery-coated".

Cheers,
- Ira
