Mircea, all, Reference to X.520 (for which there is already a normative reference in the draft) is the *only* normative reference which is necessary to cover the three matching rules. X.520 defines booleanMatch, octetStringOrderingMatch, and integerOrderingMatch. Where draft-zeilenga-ldap-user-schema speaks of these three matching rules, it does little more than re-state X.520. There is no doubt about consensus regarding the origins and semantics of booleanMatch, octetStringOrderingMatch, and integerOrderingMatch. To remove the normative reference to draft-zeilenga-ldap-user-schema is simply to remove a redundancy. Removing the normative reference to draft-zeilenga-ldap-user-schema does not leave draft-ietf-policy-core -schema-16 without a normative reference for the three matching rules.
