[ldapext] True filter vs. (objectClass=*)

[Hallvard B Furuseth <h.b.furuseth@usit.uio.no>]

I suggest to add this statement to draft-zeilenga-ldap-t-f:

   Whenever the "(objectClass=*)" filter will succeed (including
   reading the Root DSE), the "(&)" filter will also succeed.

rfc2251 section 3.4 explicitly says the (objectClass=*) filter
should be used to read the root DSE.  It does _not_ say 'any filter
which matches the root DSE', so as currently defined the TRUE filter
might not work here.  (OTOH, there is one filter which properly may
succeed when TRUE fails: (objectClass=subschema) to read schema.)
