RE: naming contexts

Replying to my own message to stress one point:

I believe that the LDUP technical specification must define
how replicas are to populate the namingContext attribute in
their root DSE as clearly replicas participating in multi-master
replication cannot do this in accordance with LDAP "core"
technical specification.
