Re: Use of criticality in dupent-04
I wouldn't mind removing this, but... 2251 is ambiguous in this area. If 2251 were to state that the criticality field is only valid and checked in requests, and ignored for responses, I'd feel more comfortable. Note also that there are a number of other drafts that have the same language (see SSS and VLV).

In your ID you mention the use of the criticality field in a control
response. e.g criticality is FALSE (MAY be absent).
In fact, RFC2251 says nothing about the use of the criticality field in a
response. The functionality has been lifted from X.500(93) and criticality
only has meaning in a request sent to a server. I suggest you remove the text
about criticality in a response.
