printer-output-tray and output-bin-supported cardinality issue (PWG 5100.13)

The following requirement in PWG 5100.13-2023 Section 6.6.10 printer-output-tray:

"A Printer MUST support this attribute if it supports the "output-bin" attribute [PWG5100.2]. If supported, this attribute MUST have the same cardinality (contain the same number of values) as the "output-bin-supported" Printer Description attribute [PWG5100.2]. The ith value in this attribute corresponds to the ith value in the "output-bin-supported" attribute."

Presents a conflict in that it's possible some output-bin values cannot be specifically selected in a print-job or create-job request. Output to some bins are controlled only by other job programming attributes.

Therefore, I believe these bins should not be added to output-bin-supported (PWG 5100.2), but then the cardinality rule cannot be followed.

Is there an accepted resolution to this issue?

Thanks,
Chris
