Luke,

the missing normalization was intentional, because, for backwards
compatibility problems, this could be a regular expression, which
in most cases fails normalization.  I agree in deciding that
   "dn:<smtg>"
requires "<smtg>" to be an exact dn, and require the use of
   "dn.regex:<regexp>"
for regular expressions, but in the meanwhile I suggest we defer
dn normalization to the caller of slap_parseURI(), which knows
if an exact dn or a regex was expected.

Ando.
