Surely you cannot return entries if you return an error?

You may return entries with a partial outcome qualifier.

Section A.2 (Result Codes) says:

        adminLimitExceeded (11)
           Indicates that an administrative limit has been exceeded.

Should it also state that there will be no search results returned
with this result code, like X.511 says?

X.511 section 12.8 (Service Error) says:

        administrativeLimitExceeded.  The Directory has reached
        some limit set by an administrative authority, and no
        partial results are available to return to the user;

I prefer to return entries along with the error, but I don't feel
strongly about it.
