I guess this will show up in a couple of days.
Major differences from version 01 of the rfc2307bis document:
1) Added host and hostos attribute options to allow system-specific values
for attributes when needed. (E.g. to accommodate different homeDirectory
locations on various machines.)
2) Added integerOrderingMatch ORDERING rules to attributes with integer
syntax. Admins frequently need to search for things like (uidNumber>=1000)
and the lack of the ORDERING rules was a great impediment.
3) Added new groupOfMembers structural objectclass with "member" as an
optional attribute, to support groups with zero members. This class should
be used whenever a structural group class is needed. The use of
groupOfUniqueNames (and groupOfNames) is deprecated.
I wonder if it might be better to leave details about which structural
objectclass should be used for groups out of this document. For implementors
it should be enough to know that "member" is used for group members and
"posixGroup" is the auxillary objectclass to look for.
The definition of groupOfMembers might then better be handled in a separate
document. As I think it is useful of other purposes than described here as
well.
