Re: RFC 2255bis

["Kurt D. Zeilenga" <Kurt@OpenLDAP.org>]

Here are some specific suggestions:

Abstract:

The abstract should note that LDAP URIs are also
used to represent non-search operations.  They
may be used to represent a general reference
to a LDAP service (such as when used in LDAP
referrals).

Section 3, URL parameters

When used to represent a referral (but not a search
continuation), the attributes, scope, and filter components
SHOULD NOT be present.  (RFC2251 should contain a statement
regarding what to do if they are present)

Section 3: scope defaulting

Suggest adding:
 In the context of a search continuation, if scope is omitted,
 the scope derived by the scope of the continued operation.
 If the continued operation had scope subtree, a scope of
 subtree shall be assumed.  Otherwise, scope base shall be
 assumed.

Section 3: filter defaulting
 Except in the context of a search referral/continuation where
 the original filter should be reused.
