Re: protocol/authmeth: LDAP PDU vs. TLS PDU

In reviewing the use of PDU in [Authmeth], it feels like the type of PDU
(LDAP vs. TLS) is very obvious from the context in which it is used.
This is the case in [Protocol] with one possible exception: section
4.14.3 Removal of TLS Layer has one point where it might make sense to
s/PDU/LDAP PDU/ to ensure that there isn't any misunderstanding about
the intent.

In [Protocol], all references to PDU mean LDAP PDU. However, I suppose I
could update them all to LDAP PDU if it seems necessary to avoid
confusion.

I just noticed this in Authmeth 3.1.2 (StartTLS Response):

and finally realized that PDU is not just an LDAP term. ([TLS] does
use it.) I had thought it was, from Protocol 4.1 (Common Elements):

>This section describes the LDAPMessage envelope Protocol Data Unit
>(PDU) format, as well as data type definitions, which are used in the

I suggest 4.1 is rewritten to clarify that, if anyone has a not too
cumbersome wording. Also, [Protocol] and [Authmeth] should probably
replace PDU with LDAP PDU in some places.
Try
grep PDU *ldapbis* | sed -n 's/LDAP PDU/ZZZ/g; /PDU/p'
