    Jim,

    I see. Actually the current draft now makes sense to me, but your revision
    is better.

    The rewording is an attempt to say, in the positive, what URI types must be
    supported and by implication that support for the data URI is not required.

    Perhaps it should actually say that in the positive :-). For example,

    A printer must support images referenced by a URI [RFC2396] containing a
    scheme name cid [RFC2392] and http [RFC2616], support for other scheme
    names
    is optional. However, support for a URI containing the data scheme name
    [REF
    NEEDED] is not required unless the printer chooses to implement the method
    for supporting in-line data given in Appendix B.3.

    Jim
