Smith,

PWG 5100.5 is an extension to IPP/1.1 that defines the Document object, the document-attributes-tag (group) value, and the amended semantics for the Send-Document and Send-URI operations.  None of that was part of the core IPP/1.1 (which is what RFC 8011 defines) and we've historically been conservative about requiring support for the Document object extension - right now only IPP/2.2 and IPP INFRA require it and most implementations only support a single document per job anyways...

I just dealt with a question having to do with the 'document-attributes-tag' and Send-Document. I was surprised to find that in 8011 we didn't include mention of the 'document-attributes-tag' even though there are references to PWG 5100.5.
