Hi Michael,
Wait - the IETF _will not_ allow 'ippget:' (with nothing following or
with nonsense that isn't a protocol target address following) as a
URL scheme. It violates all the rules of URLs usage.
The idea is that the EMPTY string (not the 'ippget' value) is
unambiguous. BECAUSE it's empty there is NOT a protocol target for
the IPP Printer object to send notifications to. The IPP client
must retrieve the notifications in-band via IPP.
OK?
Cheers,
- Ira McDonald

Assuming that the IETF allows "ippget" as a scheme name, then
allowing "ippget" as the only allowed notify-recipient-uri should
also be OK (and perhaps less confusing than passing in a 0-length
string which might trigger other parsing errors since some IPP
implementations might validate URI values as valid URIs... :)
