An ITS which should be closed.

An implementation can either publish the attribute description as  
specified (possibly with some additional names, extensions) or not.   
The description is otherwise immutable (per X.501).

Note that publication of a schema description only indicates that the  
implementation is aware of the description.  It does not necessarily  
mean that the server implements any particular functionality (other  
than the ability to publish schema descriptions).
