In
         map attribute description
2nd argument is the attribute in the foreign server, while in
         map attribute description title
2nd argument is the attribute in the local server.  Yet the code
calls both 2nd arguments 'src', and the optional 3rd argument 'dst'.

In the 2-argument case, there is no attribute which occurs in the local
server, yet the code puts the attribute in the maps for both directions
(both to and from local server).  It just makes sure the non-empty
attribute is in 'src':
		if ( *dst != 0 ) {
			mapping[1].src = mapping->dst;
			mapping[1].dst = mapping->src;
		} else {
			mapping[1].src = mapping->src;
			mapping[1].dst = mapping->dst;
		}
