I will be honest and say that I am not sure where such a requirement 
belongs. Lack of a minimum lower bound does make it difficult for anyone 
to create and publish schema that may be used with all LDAP 
implementations. That seems like a fairly general problem to me.

I also see Jim and Kurt's point about the problems that will arise if 
the LDAPBis group descends down the path of specifying minimum lengths 
for all of the LDAP protocol elements.
