Kurt, I somewhat can understand your concerns. But as a general answer to your comment above: There is already a lot of code in OpenLDAP for which no RFC or at least an I-D was specified but which serves a certain use-case. Strictly (following your statement above) speaking one would have to hunk out all the stuff only specified in I-Ds. So I don't see the strong need to be overly strict here.

Quality of certain code is another story. But I cannot comment on this.

Ciao, Michael.
