Greetings,

Section 2.3:
I understand the intent here (ensure that distinguished names in protocol
are unique).  However, I believe that this will represent a big
compatibility concern for existing implementations.  This also places quite
a bit more burden on LDAP clients to query the subschema entry and build a
OID <-> attribute type name mapping to use when presenting DNs to
applications.

Section 2.4:
A note indicating that UTF-8 characters may be escaped using the "\nn" form
would be helpful - noting that in this case, multiple escaped bytes will be
required.

Regards,
Tim Hahn
