Hi Jim,
Is there a point to the 'clarification'?
Isn't it like saying that all octets of a JPEG file are significant? Sorry, I
don't see the point.

All,
At this point it seems clear that it would be a good thing to make a
clarification to [Protocols]. That clarification would state something
like: all octets of a ber-encoded LDAP PDU are significant. No octets may
be ignored unless they are part of extended elements that are themselves
ignored.
Whether or not we want the TS to enforce mandatory minimums for
element lengths (such as attribute type names) is an issue in the data model
(and/or schema) doc(s).
