Quotes from March issue of THE HARD COPY OBSERVER:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------
"At the January meeting of the IPP in Maui, Hawaii, Microsoft (with
Hewlett-Packard's support) said it would OPPOSE the current draft
standard if the group did not stop the process to consider the
change."
"Any printing standard that does not have the combined blessing of
these two industry giants would be doomed from the start" IPP Member
Jay Martin from Underscore
"XML-based Internet Printing Solution could compromise the ability of
developers to create lightweight implementations of IPP" IPP subgroup
member David Kellerman from Northlake SW
"Although members are skeptical about the XML proposal, most feel a
reluctance and futility about opposing Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard"

The short answer is: Don't believe everything you read in the press.
Representatives from Microsoft and HP have declared on this DL that
they
are implementing what the final decision from the IESG will be.
Unfortunately, the IESG is dragging their feet with a proper feedback
to
this WG (they have had our final drafts since early February).
So, we do not know the final outcome for sure, but you can rely on
everybody implementing the same standard once it is frozen.
