IMHO it still would not be RFC compliant without storage, and I don't
mean RAM Disk storage. If you want to use a flash drive or something
similar, I believe this could be done. Some time back I built CUPS and
had, of course, the same problem. Also CUPS was much too big to be held
in RAM disk only. I solved this by using a big part of my CF as a real
disk partition. For operations which don't have to be fast this is
acceptable, but the decay of flash memory needs to be taken into account.
