Or some matching rules: (o:noSubTypeSubstringMatch:=*A).
The second search is not "an attribute is requested without a language tag option". However the suggestion is wrong because it already means something: It matches all 'o' attributes which have a language tag.
I am almost 100% sure my suggestion is wrong even before I post it but I have to find a way to make my requirement clear with example using my brain that lack in-depth understanding of LDAP. Such situation happens frequently when a customer want something they are not sure what it is, and often they are gave what they need by smart developers:) It's nice to see Hallvard suggested the idea closer to perfection.
So my question is: do someone have time to develop a patch doing something like allowing (o:noSubTypeSubstringMatch:=*A)? I just hope it isn't very expensive, I am under pressure of solving more problems with less resources. A patch that just works will do, putting it on ITS and submit a suggestion to IETF and wait 3.5 years before openLDAP accept this new feature introduced by RFC 7000 etc is very good but wouldn't work for my case (maybe by then I already left the project that needs this).
