Jim,

As editor of the URP document, I don't mind changing that document to
reference a
proposed standard definition for the change sequence number in the form
outlined
below. To avoid slowing the LDUP publication schedule, the CSN document
would
have to be produced immediately.

Regards,
Steven

  Subject: Standardization of change sequence number


  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?

  Jim
