I think the second paragraph of 1.1 should be replaced with:
   This document updates RFC 2798 by replacing the informative
   description of the 'uid' (userid) attribute type, with the
   definitive description provided in Section 2.39 of this
   document.  This 'uid' description also supercedes the
   (userid) description provided Section 3.9.1 of RFC 1274.

Also, I suggest the acknowledgements paragraphs for userid
(and dc) be rewritten:
   The 'dc' definition borrows from RFC 2247 by S. Kille,
   M. Wahl, A. Grimstad, R. Huber, and S. Sataluri.
   
   The 'uid' (userid) definition borrows from RFC 2798
   by M. Smith and RFC 1274 by P. Barker and S. Kille.

I also noticed a few nits... I'll send those directly to the
Editor.
