The value of document-format-supported should be all document-formats 
supported and its value should not be affected by the document-format 
operation attribute. Otherwise, how does a client determine what 
document-formats the printer supports. The document-format attribute should 
affect other printer attributes returned. Perhaps the model document needs 
some clarification in this area.
