Re: REVISED protocol review notes [LONG]

["Jim Sermersheim" <jimse@novell.com>]

Actually my current plan is to define both:
     Attribute ::= SEQUENCE {
             type    AttributeDescription,
             vals    SET SIZE (1..MAX) OF AttributeValue }
and
     PartialAttribute ::= SEQUENCE {
             type    AttributeDescription,
             vals    SET OF AttributeValue }

and use them in the appropriate places.

Does this sound reasonable?

Okay... but I note that ModifyRequest.changes.modification is
a partial attribute. I assume your other changes to clarify
Attribute may be partial will lead to PartialAttributeList
fading away.
