Greetings,

Ryan, you wrote:

3. Lastly, there are ten matching rules from the copy of X.520 I was
reading on the plane that aren't in either the 2252 update or
the 2256 update... I'm wondering if they should be included.
I've run into situations where several of them would have been
useful already...

caseExactSubstringMatch
numericStringOrderingMatch
caseIgnoreListSubstringMatch
booleanMatch
integerOrderingMatch
uTCTimeMatch
uTCTimeOrderingMatch
directoryStringFirstComponentMatch
wordMatch
keywordMatch

What does the working group want to do with these?

My feelings here is that we should indicate which syntaxes and matching
rules are MANDATORY to implement (MUST be supported) by servers that
support LDAPv3, and then those that are "recommended".  I believe the
matching rules above would fall into the "recommended" category.
