Well, this is not a representation of request the client made,
but a representation of how the server has initially interpreted
the client provided filter.  The format is not intended to be
directly reusable as it includes components such as (undefined)
and (badfilter) [2.1 uses a different notation].  The components
indicate that the client is making attribute value assertions
for undefined attribute types and/or making inappropriate
assertions defined attribute types and/or doing other odd
stuff.
