Because the draft is work has stopped as it was clear that
consensus necessary for publication on the Standard Track
was not obtainable, LDAPext is concluding.  I suspect the
authors will likely pursue this as individually (hopefully
as Informational).  Here change would depend on what the
authors intend.  They could have the I-D just document
an existing implementation or something new.

This is a VERY good time for some other individuals to
draft a new API specification...
