[ldapext] New draft available of LDAP Additional syntaxes

[Carl Eric Codere <[e-mail]>]

Greetings,
              A new draft is available of  the Lightweight Directory 
Access Protocol (LDAP): Additional Syntaxes:

  * Restricted the syntax of the Real type as proposed in this group.
  * VisibleString regular expression added as proposed in this group.
  * Short String (2.2.1), Long String (2.2.2) and Text (2.2.3)
    interpretation of size were completely wrong they were not in octets
    but in character, hence i replaced UTF8String by DirectoryString,
    as a parametrized type with a size, and made the length the WORST
    case scenario for the number of characters, assuming a 4 octet
    character. The rationale behind the encoding and lengths in octets
    is still the same.
  * Float32 and Float64 refer to the Real syntax for its representation.
    This was missing.
  * Replaced PrintableString by VisibleString in different ASN1
    definitions (For DCMIType, Language), not sure if this is correct or
    not, since VisibleString is defined in this standard itself.
  * OpenDate (2.3.4) explicitly states that the time component contains
    timezone information when present.
  * URI (2.3.5) details added on encoding and recommendation on usage of
    relative URI's.
  * NCName is now defined as an unbounded directory string.
  * Added Normalized String syntax type (similar to XMLSchema datatype)
  * QualifiedName is now defined as an unbounded directory string.
  * Added Time of Day with Timezone syntax type as proposed in this group.
  * Added Token syntax type (similar to XMLSchema datatype)
