This is incorrect.  This implies that if the rule applies to

that Y:
        ( 1.1.2 NAME 'Y' SUP X )
need not listed.  Y should be listed in this case as
if the rule applies to X it should apply to Y because Y is
a subtype of X.  That is, the implementation is not excused
from listing Y because it is subtype of some listed type.
Instead, the server is obligated to list Y as the rule applies
to subtypes of X.

Otherwise a schema-aware LDAP client evaluating 'matchingRuleUse' would also have to resolve attribute type inheritance for resolving matching rule use.


Glad to read this provided my understanding of your words is correct...

Ciao, Michael.
