IPP> MOD - Proposal to remove ValidateJob in IPP 1.0

In the spirit of simplification, I propose we remove VaildateJob from IPP 1.0
because (1) GetAttributes is now a mandatory operation on a Printer (2) an
application can use GetAttributes to obtain valid attributes and values for a
Printer BEFORE submitting a job to the Printer (3) removing ValidateJob is one
less operation to implement and test i.e. we remove a straw from the IPP
camel's back (as someone stated in the email, these straws do add up).

I'll be out of the office through July 23 so I will not be able to correspond
on this matter until then. However, I'll pick up the consensus at that time
and proceed from there.

Have fun,

Keith
