The answer was in X.511(97) section 7.6:
  If the allUserAttributes option is selected,
  then information is requested about all user attributes in the entry.

This option is equivalent to an empty or "*" search list in LDAPv3.
Hence, I believe the compliant behavior is to only return
operational attributes when requested.

Note: X.511 refers to an allOperationalAttributes option.
LDAPv3 does not have such, but could... it's been suggested
before that "+" be used to indicate allOperationalAttributes
(the OpenLDAP server supports this).

Regardless of whether you agree with my logic here or not, I
hope you would agree that RFC 2251 needs to be clarified in
this area (and other areas).  I hope we can initiate LDAPv3 soon.
