Thanks for the clarification.

We did consider impacts of replication, mostly looking at
single-master environments as this is what we are most familiar
with and what LDAP models currently supports.  However, I
believe that single-master environments have many of the same
client update issues found in multi-master environments (when
you consider issues between slaves which converge at different
rates to their master).

I do think it would be appropriate for each I-D to discuss
replication issues.

Likely (but I'd have to think about it more).  I note that since
LDAP Sync supports both updates+present and update+delete
incremental synchronization mechanisms, if LCUP is applicable
then likely so is LDAP Sync.
