IPP>MOD Issue with localization

Should we a make statement about which attributes should be localized.
I would expect the text attributes set by the manufacturer would be
localized. They are: job-state-message ,
printer-more-info-manufacturer, printer-state-message, and
printer-make-and-model. I would expect text attribute set by a site
would not be localized. They are job-message-from-operator,
printer-location, printer-description, printer-message-
from-the-operator

If we agree with the first paragraph, should there be a separate text
type called localized-text for the 4 attributes mentioned in the
previous issue that can be localized. The status-message parameter
would also have this type, as would notification messages.

Unless we do something, the localization issue is left very vague.
