Nor is it defined that way in [Protocol].  Did you see my message

That would be wrong, since "association" is defined as something
different.  We could rename the term "LDAP exchange" to something else
(which would get the current definition of "LDAP exchange") after making
Kurt's changes.  If you wish to suggest a better term, read this thread
first:

Personally I prefer several other terms over "LDAP exchange", but I
don't feel strongly about it.
