I would probably replace the word 'both' with 'all' and include a little 
comment about Extended Operations. This way, Extended Operations that 
perform interrogation operations will also be deemed appropriate to have 
a dontUseCopy control attached.

With LDAP directory's that support an implementation of multi-master 
replication, do you deem both Masters as containing 'original' 
information? I think that this must be the case, in which case the word 
'original' might also be a little misleading.


Cheers,
