If it's no longer needed - what has changed? I thought it was invented because the existing scheme of '{hash method}' in userPassword broke the LDAP standard. Which it still does.
Simply no-one cares.
BTW: IIRC RFC 3112 also lacks a definition of charset encoding for textual strings. This was kinda solved for userPassword by an implementation hint in RFC 4519 requiring SASLprep/UTF-8 but not for the authPasswordSyntax.
