RE: [ldapext] I-D ACTION:draft-zeilenga-ldap-uuid-00.txt



My vote is to remove. I can't conceive of a valid reason to order UUIDs.

For completeness.  UUID ordering was discussed in the DCE
UUID specification.

I wonder though if the ordering applies to non-DCE UUID
forms allowed by my draft (I need to buy a copy of the ISO
specification) and, even if so, whether a DSA can be
reasonably expected to commit objects in UUID order.

Anyways, I wanted some discussion before deciding whether
or not to support UUID ordering matching here and that's
easier to do with a specification for it.

So, I ask, should UUID ordering support stay or be removed
from this I-D?
