IPP> notification methods

There is a huge PRACTICAL difference between mailto vs. indp:  indp
requires a server per user, mailto only requires a client.  There is a
great difference in cost, complexity, resource consumption, and security
considerations between running a client on the Internet and deploying a
server on the Internet.  Most Internet servers are used by many users, so
the cost is affordable.  A server per user just won't scale to the
Internet.
