I should think the normal use of a matching rule is in the 'equalityMatch' choice of the filter. I also think 'extensibleMatch' is an attempt to create a new semantic and that the paragraphs below provide the means to scope this new meaning. The use of the matching rule in an attribute definition is automatically scoped.

Why not? I may have an attribute who's syntax is caseExactMatch. I may
want to search for values of that attribute using an extensible match
filter where the rule is caseIgnoreMatch.

caseIgnoreMatch is not an *extensible* matching rule.

[Models] says:
> 4.1.4. Matching Rule Uses
>
> A matching rule use lists the attributes which are suitable for use
> with an extensible matching rule
Please add something like "(in addition to those uses expressed in
AttributeType descriptions)".
BTW, how do Matching Rule Uses relate to the statements in [Syntaxes]
about which matching rules can be used with which syntaxes?
For example, [Syntaxes] 5.2.6 says:
> The caseIgnoreMatch rule compares an assertion value of the
Directory
> String syntax to an attribute value of a syntax (e.g. the
Directory
> String, Printable String, Country String or Telephone Number
syntax)
> whose corresponding ASN.1 type is DirectoryString or one of its
> alternative string types, e.g. PrintableString.
