IPP> charset type vs charset printer attribute

Hi folks,

The use of charset as a type and charset as a printer attribute is
causing me problems in my implementation.

What I want to do is to create an ascii file of IPP attributes that I can
parse and then send to the printer using IPP. The grammar I'm working
with parses lines of the following format:

<type> <attribute-name> '=' <value> ';'

It becomes difficult to correctly parse the following line:

charset charset = "en";

It would make my life a lot easier if the charset attribute name for
printers changed to "printer-charset".

Regards,
Rajesh
