That's what I meant with flawed: not on OpenLDAP's side, but on the
standard's side. It would be VERY easy to add, say, the
telephoneNumberMatch to fax and make OpenLDAP 2.0 support exact
or substrings match and whatever. Graeme, you can do it, but then
your app would rely on non-standard behavior of your server, and
you'd be on your own.
