Hi Bernard,

  "odd" isn't the word I'd use to describe it. Audacious and hubristic
are a bit more like it.

  These aren't "private use" or vendor-specific attributes. Let's be
very specific about that.

  I don't understand your mention of modifying RFC 4507. Is this yet
another problem with these drafts?

  Dan.
