Although you will likely claim that your I-D also describes the problem i=
n
general you're already endorsing a particular solution. :-/

I suspect that your mixed use of values in attribute 'psetMembership' wil=
l
rather contribute to the "hodgepodge of LDAP schema" you criticize than s=
olving
problems.

Personally I don't see a strong need for generic "ur-objects" because one=
 can
easily define such a schema for a particular deployment with custom schem=
a with
particular semantics.

I agree with some of your points therein. But you have a wild mix of true=
 issues
on one side and bad common practice with dummy objects on the other hand.=


I'd say we should:
1. fix true issues (e.g. empty-group-problem) with a new I-D.
2. Add text (implementation notes, security considerations etc.) to preve=
nt bad
practice.

For 2. you will never find text which prevents all people to shoot themse=
lves in
the foot.

Ciao, Michael.
