Re: creatorsName/modifiersName referential integrity

Hi Brian,

My perspective is that the operational attributes should remain even if the
DN that they point to is no longer in the DIT.  When used in concert with
the features of RFC 2649 there is no confusion as to what has happened to
the original creator or last modifier of the object.
