Re: new internet draft - LDAP Extensions Style Guide

one general and one specific comment regarding controls
On a general note, if the document is a style guide, it should give
people general guidelines on how to produce IDs, but should not
itself be defining new controls. i.e. the doc should only reference
existing controls and not be defining new ones such as deferRoles
and copySubtree. It should refer to other IDs in which these are
defined.
David,
Thanks for the comments...
This draft does not define new controls or extended operations. In some
instances, in the absence of well written documents that create appropriate
definitions, examples are given that use hypothetical controls, etc. In a
future version, I will clarify that fact.
A specific point is, can you add the sentence "when defining a
control to be placed on an operation request, the specification must
clearly specify which controls (if any) are allowed to be placed in
the corresponding operation result"
Good idea. I will include verbiage to that effect in the next revision.
