Re: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-ldapbis-filter-04.txt

The changes made in this revision are listed in Appendix B but I'll post them here too. Please read the draft and comment. It is not 100% clear to me that the group reached consensus on the "The string representation is a string of UTF-8 encoded ISO 10646-1 characters" issue. It would also be helpful to have some people check the revised ABNF.

------
15.1. Technical Changes

"String Search Filter Definition" section: Added statement that the
string representation is a string of UTF-8 encoded ISO 10646-1
characters and statement about expected behavior in light of RFC
2254's lack of a clear definition of "string representation."

"String Search Filter Definition" section: Revised all of the ABNF to
use common productions from [Models]. Revised the "normal"
production to restrict filter strings to valid UTF-8 sequences.


15.2. Editorial Changes

"Status of this Memo" section: updated boilerplate to match current
I-D guidelines.

"Examples" section: removed ;binary from an example.

"LDAP Search Filter Definition " section: updated section references
to match current LDAPBis drafts. Made minor changes to the ASN.1 so
it exactly matches that used in the Protocol document (added
comments).

"Normative References" section: added references to [ISO10646],
[RFC2119] and [Models].

"Informative References" section: added for clarity.

Updated copyright year to 2003.

LDAP search filters are transmitted in the LDAP protocol using a
binary representation that is appropriate for use on the network.
This document defines a human-readable string representation of LDAP
search filters that is appropriate for use in LDAP URLs and in other
applications

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.


Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
