    Mike,

    I may be stupid, but I have some difficulty to see why you have to have
    a keyword to do these scenarios, it seems to me they can equally well be
    done with a text string...

    BTW, I think your scenarios look like they will need some private
    localization that cannot be part of a standard anyway.

    Example 1: a printing company has a web-based printing service that
    allows registered customers to submit files for printing. The
    operator(s) of the printing equipment need to know when a job
    comes in that required their attention (and the job is held until
    the operator readies the printer and releases it), however the
    customer does not know (and should not know) who will be doing the
    printing.

    [This is a real-world example of something that is happening right
    now...]

    Example 2: A coworker prints a document you forgot to a printer at
    the hotel you are staying at. You don't know who will be receiving
    the job, and the hotel requires a valid username or one of the
    keywords, so you have to say "operator" and include a cover page with
    the job.

    Example 3: Same as example 2, but inside a company a la fax pickup.

    Mind you, we can still do this without a keyword (just define special
    names on the server for this sort of thing), but it would be nice to
    have support for it in IPP (and not make everything we do in the
    real world an extension...)
