RE: When to not deref aliases



I think that both RFC 2251 and X.511 are fairly clear
in regards to update operations.  I think the only
real issue is whether bind MUST, MUST NOT, SHOULD,
SHOULD NOT, MAY or MAY NOT do aliasing dereferencing.

I would suggest "SHOULD NOT" as it this does not disallow
an implementation from doing so, but makes it clear that
dereferencing is not expected behavior.
