In OpenLDAP 2.2, things were changed so that to create a fax matching 
rule you have to modify the code.  I have done so for the RPM's I 
maintain for UVM's OL implementation on RHEL3 and am willing to provide 
you the patch deck if you want it.

I have not (nor will I) submit the patch deck to OL for inclusion 
because as you noted, the RFC doesn't define any matching rules, so what 
I have done and you are requesting violates the RFC.
