[IPP] Registration template for "jpeg-features-supported (1setOf type2 keyword)"

Harry,

Thanks for this.  After reviewing the section on JPEG, it looks like the only keyword I haven't covered is 'hierarchical'.  The referenced document also includes some good information on how each of the features is implemented in JPEG...

I don't know how useful anyone in the PWG will find this but, in the same wheelhouse, the AFPC has defined (print) "subsets" for several widely available formats TIFF, JPEG, PNG and SVG (not published yet). The AFP subset for JPEG was submitted to ISO in 2011 and became or formed the basis for ISO/IEC 10918-6 Application to printing systems <https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:std:iso-iec:10918:-6:ed-1:v1:en> now a published ISO standard. I'm not suggesting this intersects 100% with Apple's attributes but mention it as FYI in case you might find it helpful in general. It has been a while since ISO published and I don't recall what additions or changes may have occurred so persons really interested are advised to purchase the ISO standard. Meanwhile, the AFPC document is freely available <http://afpcinc.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/AFPC-Subsets-v2.0.pdf> and the PWG is free to reference the document if that ever makes sense.

The following keyword values will initially be registered:

Because of the way many printers process JPEG files, some features (ICC and CMYK support in particular) are silently ignored if not supported, leading to incorrect output (otherwise we could look for a document-format error and retry...)
