Attribute subtyping, clarification request
While we're on the subject of attributes and attribute subtypes:
If I understand correctly, displayName;lang-de is a subtype of
displayName, rather than an instance of it, so that it would be
possible to have several displayName assertions, each one in a
different language, without violating the single-value property of the
attribute type.
It should also be possible to have displayName;lang-fr;lang-es if the
spanish and french names were identical, right?
But then the rules don't seem to prevent the above from being combined
with displayName;lang-fr and displayName;lang-es as individual
assertions, in which case a search requesting the displayName;lang-es
attribute type would actually (surprisingly) return two assertions. Or
am I missing something?
