[IPP] Potential errata/update for PWG Raster Format and/or IPP Everywhere specs

Hi Smith,

Actually, the Printer doesn't have to bind values to "xxx-actual" until the
Job
completes.

This reply is not about 'guaranteed'.

This reply is about the usability of 'attempted'.

An IPP Client could use Validate-Job with "document-format" and
"pdl-override" and,
when it receives the response that says ignored or substituted, examine the
values
of "preferred-attributes" (from JPS3, PWG 5100.13-2012) to find out the
extent to
which the Printer *could* and *could not* successfully 'attempt' to do the
overrides.

The IPP Client wants to know if the particular PDL interpreter is
instrumented to
support overrides, not that any particular (unsent) document data actually
contains,
for example, "number-up" (which the client can't know if it didn't generate
the
document data).

Mike - I think this is a useful idea - WDYT?

Cheers,
- Ira
