Soft Del: The attribute shall contain none of these values, but might have others

I'm not sure I understand how SOFTDEL differs from LDAP_MOD_DELETE. Do you mean that values listed in SOFTDEL will be deleted if they exist, or otherwise ignored?

Yes; LDAP_MOD_DELETE requires that the listed values exist. The delete-all-values case is separate. If we had

cn: a cn: b

and ran

changetype: modify softdel: cn cn: b cb: c

Then the result would be success and cn=a remaining. Yes, this is useful!
