http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-zeilenga-ldap-relax-03 is expired since end
of 2008 but some software already uses this feature. The control's OID is
still not assigned (OpenLDAP's exp. OID arc).

What is needed to get this approved at least as informational RFC?

I'd also suggest that relaxable attribute types are announced with X-RELAX in
the subschema subentry so that a schema-aware client can determine which
attributes to make editable in case the control is in effect.

Ciao, Michael.
