Hi David,
Thanks for your comments. We will take them into account.
Actually, I got the idea when studying RFC 4523 (LDAP X.509 Schema), also
written by Kurt.

I guess that Isode generally, and not just Steve Kille, is interested in
this. (Particularly, perhaps, Kurt Zeilenga who is the author of RFC 4512,
which defines the LDAP Schema objects).
I have a few initial comments:
- LDAP attributes have a syntax which is an OID identifying the data type
and an optional 'length'. The latter has the somewhat loose semantics of
being a minimum upper bound which a server should support, although a server
can support longer values. So it is somewhat different from a size
constraint on an ASN.1 type.
- LDAP matching rules also have an LDAP syntax, but without the length.
- LDAP schema objects can have multiple names (e.g. 'cn' and 'commonName').
- LDAP schema object can have a description, which is UTF-8.
There are also extensions.
best regards
David
