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.

Given the lack of firm conformance requirements, the Printer is free to return client-error-attributes-or-values-not-supported or successful-ok-ignored-or-substituted-attributes, or to ignore the value completely and just return successful-ok. (any of those is allowed by 2911)
