short name: international consideration
I would like to replace the first paragraph of [Models, 6.2]
with:
Short names, also known as descriptors, are used as more
readable aliases for object identifiers and are used to
identify various schema elements. However, it is not
expected that LDAP implementations with human user
interface would display these short names (nor the object
identifiers they refer to) to the user, but would most
likely be performing translations (such as expressing the
short name in one of the local national languages). For
example, the short name "st" (stateOrProvinceName) might
be displayed to a German-speaking user as "Land".
The same short name ... (rest of current first paragraph).
(The astute reader may recognize that much of the additional
text is borrowed from RFC 2253. This will be acknowledged.)
Comments?
