RE: Feature discovery (Was: RFC 2596 questions)

[Brian Jarvis <bjarvis@internap.com>]

I am hesitant to put language elements into the schema for two (so far)
reasons.
1.  If a particular language is not advertised in the schema, it would imply
that I cannot add an element with that language.
2.  It would greatly expand the number of schema elements.

You mean advertised in the schema, right? I would say yes, I think there
should be another schema element called something like attributeTypeOptions,
the syntax would look something like this (ala 2252 nomenclature):
 
AttributeTypeOptionDescription = "(
   numericoid whsp ; Attribute Type Option Identifier
   [ "NAME" qdescrs ]
   [ "DESC" qdescrs ]
   [ "OBSOLETE" whsp ]
   "APPLIES TO" whsp "ALL" | (("SYNTAX" | "ATTRIBUTE") oids) ; list of
syntaxes or attributes that this ATO applies to.
   whsp ")"
