Suggest adding some verbiage to REQUIRE the use of IANA registered OIDs in
LDAP-related RFCs. I have seen way too many private and non-coordinated
OIDs in the past. I think this practice should be discouraged since OIDs
that are "owned" by a private organization is not guaranteed to be unique
and the definition could be changed without proper review.
I strongly disagree. OIDs allocated under the private enterprise branch
can only serve to expedite the standardization process. Once the OID is
defined and used by the public in an RFC what possibly could be gained by
changing the OID to another value. There are many OIDs that have been
allocated under the private enterprise branch in the past that are now
widely used. Keep the language in the draft intact. It is good the way
that it is.
