I (and I believe others) would like to see the change sequence number
syntax be progressed in a standards-track document. Of those initially
interested in this, I believe consensus is that it should be defined as
a complex type (using ASN.1). A string encoding would be defined (which
would likely look just like the one in draft-ietf-ldup-infomod-xx.txt).
Then matching rules would be defined in terms of the complext type (not
the string encoding).
 
Do the authors of the relevant LDUP I-Ds want to participate in the act
of pulling out the current LdapChangeSequenceNumber, and referring to a
new I-D, or would they rather just leave it alone (in order to more
quickly achieve last call), and let any new I-D progress without being
referred to?
