[IPP] RFC: Identify-Printer mini-extension

Hi Smith,

Tricky.  The "identify action duration" would be a new attribute (which
would require a revision of JPS3 spec - yuck).

Mike's right that IPPSIX is the wrong place to do this - the conformance
shouldn't have anything to do with IPPSIX.

I also don't think that System Control Service should get into this business
- or maybe I'm crazy and that actually is the *right* place?  Should SCS,
rather than an individual service, be the target of this device-level
operation?

Someday, we need a lightweight IPP registration for whole new attributes
(in an existing attribute group), I suspect.

Cheers,
- Ira
