We have some questions as to the results of modify operations against 
attributes with options.  Using as an example, an options example
in the draft "Use of Language Codes in LDAP":

   description: software 
   description;lang-en: software products
   description;lang-de: Softwareprodukte

how would the following modify operations work?

1.  A delete of the attribute "description".

2.  A delete of the attribute "description;lang-en"

3.  A replace of the attribute "description" with new values

   description: software engineering
   description;lang-en: software consultancy

4.  A replace of the attribute "description:lang-en" with new values

   description;lang-en: software operations
   description;lang-en: software developement

  
Thanks, Jim Reed
