I meant LDAP work, not implementor work. Assuming we
don't change the elective status of the features we
roll in, the impact to implementors is the same:
Those who choose to implement do.
Those who choose to implement don't.

I'd like to see most be SHOULD implement, but think it
reasonable that some being MAY implement. I'd even be
fine with all being SHOULD or MAY. I recommend:
SHOULD booleanMatch
SHOULD caseExactMatch
SHOULD caseExactOrderingMatch
SHOULD caseExactSubstringsMatch
SHOULD caseIgnoreListSubstringsMatch
SHOULD directoryStringFirstComponentMatch
SHOULD integerOrderingMatch
MAY keywordMatch
SHOULD numericStringOrderingMatch
SHOULD octetStringOrderingMatch
MAY storedPrefixMatch
MAY wordMatch
