I assume that there must be some agreement between the client
and server that allows the server to alter the service model
to support multi-master replication (as the X.500(93) service
model clearly requires a single master for every object) and
that this agreement would be responsible for detailing whether
or not both masters are viewed as containing 'original'
information.
Specification of alternative service models, as well as mechanisms
for agreeing to an alternative service model, are well beyond
the scope of this document.

See X.500(93). It uses the same terminology when detailing
the service control this control is based upon.
