I have been reading ldapbis RFCs since I've been involved in this 
project and they were somewhat better than older ones. These updates are 
great contribution to the community of directory. However lots of stuff 
to read... :-) (Well, as I see they are released from final drafts which 
I have already read :-) )

Alex, thanks for the news.
