[fotis@xos.nl: bug/typo in RFC2256?]

[Fotis Georgatos <fotis@xos.nl>]

This is only FYI.

I have the impression that some LDAP implementations can get confused
and "hide" data within the double-defined preferredDeliveryMethod attribute.

BTW. The same attribute is also double in objectclass "residentialPerson"

cheers,
Fotis

Dear Mark et al,

while investigating the organizationalRole objectclass,
through the nice web interface at http://ldap.akbkhome.com,
I found, to my surprise, "preferredDeliveryMethod" being defined twice.

I traced it back and saw that it is defined in RFC2256, exactly as such.
It is even a SINGLE-VALUE field, which means that it has to be corrected.

Even the default OpenLDAP's schemas have it like this,
so I presume the rest of the LDAP world has now to fix this minor typo...

cheers,
Fotis
