It is not at all reasonable to entertain the notion of ripping
prtInterpreterLangFamily enums out of the Printer MIB. Whether
or not to *also* register some of the same PDL's as MIME types
for use in IPP is a separate question. I think Larry has eluded
to the inevitable double registry and, by the way, several PDLs
can already be found in both places. Since the Printer MIB enums
are type-2, any new MIME type ("PZL7 Version 5.53" - hypothetical)
can easily be assigned an enum. A simple mapping document from
MIME to enum would be a useful tool which the PWG could maintain.
The key question still is which method of referencing PDLs will work
best for IPP - and why.
