may to MUST



Jim, Mark,

I believe that I can dispel some concerns that were brought up at the
ldapbis WG last night about changing a "may" to a "MUST."

If I read this change log properly, the original 2251 document did not say
"may treat," it said "will treat."  So perhaps there is not an specification
change concern here.
