> There is no real data type syntax in LDAP.  Nor are there matchingRules for attributes with this
> syntax.  ASN.1 defines an encoding for REAL data types here:
>     http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/languages/X.690-0207.pdf
> Would really be nice to devise a simple encoding for the base, and mantissa of REAL values 
> to be able to track them without rounding errors due to their persistence in the directory.  
> There's been a lot of conversation about this topic but no one has actually stepped up 
> and done it.  Here's some links to these convos:
>     http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-bugs/200103/msg00065.html

> Does anyone think they can take a stab at writing an LDAP syntax description for REAL numbers
> and providing the required SyntaxChecker and matchingRules for it as well?
