I concur.  The server is free to incorporate generated attributes
(e.g., createTimestamp) before, after, or during the addition
of the user-specified attributes.  Exactly when is a local matter,
the server just has to do the addition as part of the DIT
modification.  The assertion is to be applied prior to, but
atomically with, the DIT modification.
