vendorACI attribute in draft-ietf-ldapext-acl-model-04.txt

[David Ward <dsward@novell.com>]

What value does the vendorACI attribute add?  It appears to be a placeholder vendors can use for proprietary aci information. However, the model already allows vendors to define their own access control mechanisms ( section 5.1 ).  In my opionion, having vendors define specific access control mechanisms, is better than stuffing everything into a vendorACI printable string attribute.  I think the attribute should be dropped.
