Jim,

Sorry to come in on this discussion late.

There was one thing I noticed in your draft RFC - I think that you
**should** consider subtypes for duplicate entries. This is more consistent
with the general LDAP/X.500 rule:
- subtypes count for interrogation operations
- subtypes are ignored for modification operations.

Regards,

David

If an attribute is specified, only that attribute is considered for
returning duplicate entries, subtypes of that attribute are not considered.
I'll add text to make this clear.
