The syntaxes of attributes in a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP) or X.500 directory range from simple data types, such as text
string, integer, or boolean, to complex structured data types, such as
the syntaxes of the directory schema operational attributes.  Matching
rules defined for the complex syntaxes usually only
provide the most immediately useful matching capability.  This
document defines generic matching rules that can match any user
selected component parts in an attribute value of any arbitrarily
complex attribute syntax.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.
