Please DO NOT send a copy of any reply directly to me. It appears that
this causes the SANE list manager to NOT send me a copy on the list, and
it is ONLY on the list that I watch for replies.

It appears that there are really three types of options in SANE.
 1. "Well-known" standard options as defined in the documentation.
 2. Options privately defined by individual backends.
 3. Options defined publicly by saneopts.h and used by multiple
    backends, but for which the SANE maintainers disclaim any
    support or standardization.

If that is accurate, fine; I can live with it. But I do think there
should be some statement in either the documentation or saneopts.h
warning that options in category 3 only look like part of the standard.
