Randy,

I added the following to the model document:

If a Printer object supports this optional operation, it MUST support URIs
of the following type:
'http': The Printer object will perform an HTTP/1.1 GET operation
'ftp': The Printer object will use an FTP 'get' operation. If the URI does
not indicate a name or password in the URI itself, the Printer object will
use anonymous FTP generating (if prompted) some password in the form of an
Internet mail address.

I intended to add the phrase "The Printer object OPTIONALLY supports URIs of
other types." but I forgot. I will add it. I thought this was the intent
of the
discussion:

if support for print-by-reference, then support for http: and ftp: with
optional
support for uri's of other types.
