No. Please read RFC 2119, Section 6. [Though defined for
MUST/SHOULD/MAY impertives, I believe it equally applies to
the "mandatory" vs "recommended" vs "optional" debate.] Then
ask is LDAP ACM impertive for the interoperability of two LDAP
protocol peers? IMO, the answer to this question is NO as
LDAPv3 peers interoperate irregardless of the ACM model in
place.
