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 understand that we cannot add additional normative requirements. I was just thinking that, if the "document group" were mentioned even in passing as an optional group in 8011, with a reference to PWG 5100.5, that would help with the "cross referencing" thing.

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.

Cross-references such as this would help close the loop especially if it was listed as optional in 8011, which wouldn't change the normative requirements for IPP/1.1 IMO.
