Citing [Roadmap] on first use of LDAP is appropriate as
[Roadmap] defines what is LDAP.  This sentences makes it
clear that this I-D is integral part of LDAP, and was also
intended to be part of the I-D's description of how it
relates to other I-Ds (and obsoleted RFCs).  I note that in
many of the LDAPBIS I-Ds (see [Protocol] & [Models]), we're
now using the longer form:
   This document is a integral part of the LDAP technical
   specification [Roadmap] which obsoletes the previously
   defined LDAP technical specification, RFC 3377, in its
   entirety.
and immediately following this with the particular obsolete
information for this I-D.  I suggest you do likewise here.

(I just noticed that [LDAPDN] should use the long form, will
update that.)
