RE: Operations crossing replication contexts

Strongly agree also. I can't see any real benefit to the folks
who actually have to use LDUP implementations to have to cope
with two ways of handling LDAPv3 replication depending on
how many contexts per server they need.

Steven: when could you have a revised I-D posted to the list
plus some bullets indicating changes implied for other documents?

I strongly agree.  A directory server that supports only one replication
context, presumably for one contiguous subtree for the DIT, will not be
usable in many situations.
