Are there, in fact, any such implementations? Which profiles beyond S and F are used with image/tiff? There were no implementations that used "image/tiff" with any profiles other than S and F listed in any of the interoperability reports so far. In searching the Internet for descriptions of Internet Fax implementations, I can't find any that use "image/tiff" for profiles other than S and F. If the consensus is that this statement is true, then could someone who believes this statement name any of these "existing implementations", please? > However, this usage is now deprecated.
