RE: caseIgnoreIA5OrderingMatch not supported (ITS#3018)

[Kurt@OpenLDAP.org]

I do not believe caseIgnoreIA5OrderingMatch has ever been formally
specified.  Someone could easily write an I-D detailing this and
a number of other "missing" rules (as I did for the X.520 missing
rules), but I'll leave this (at least for now) to someone else to do.

I generally question the use of IA5 strings in new schema elements.
Generally, Directory String should be used instead.

Anyways, as there exists no specification for this rule and I
see no reason to track a request to implement something which
is unspecified, I'll close this ITS.
