Doing a subtree move operation is not always trivial, and even
when it's possible it may not be very efficient. In my testing it appears that
this is not supported by many/most LDAP server implementations. I think
it would be good to explicitly identify the requirement
level (MUST, SHOULD, MAY) for the sub-tree movement part of this
operation.

As I read it, there's no clear conformance statement (a la RFC 2119) one way or another. The entire discussion in paragraph 4.9 is in plain English (with no use of RFC 2119 keywords such as MUST). On that topic, draft-ietf-ldapbis-protocol-02.txt is no clearer. It seems to me this is an issue that needs clarifying. Any thoughts? -- Skip Slone |
