Re: I-D ACTION:draft-zeilenga-ldapbis-strmatch-01.txt

["Kurt D. Zeilenga" <Kurt@OpenLDAP.org>]

This I-D proposes a number of changes to X.520 string
matching rules to remove ambiguity in the existing
specification.  The changes are major, likely requiring
all changes in many existing implementations.

While this I-D still needs a lot of work (especially the
Design Considerations, Security Considerations, Acknowledgement
sections), it should be a reasonable expression of one possible
approach.

Your comments are appreciated.
