This draft might be ready for Proposed Standard but I have a couple
discussion questions.  I definitely suggest bringing up the first one.

(1) It says

   1.2. Relationship to X.501

     This document includes material, with and without adaptation, from
     [X.501].  The material in this document takes precedence over that
     in [X.501].

Has ITU-T been informed? :-p  That is, under what conditions or in what
contexts does this override X.501, and what does ITU-T have to say about
that?  I have trouble believing the statement is accurate as it stands.


(2) Statements like:

  Servers SHALL restrict modifications of this attribute to prevent
  superclasses of remaining 'objectClass' values from being deleted.

might be better down in Section 5.1 (server-specific data requirements)
or 7.1 (server (implementation) guidelines).  Where they occur I suggest
changing them so they look a lot less procedural -- this draft is about
informational models after all -- for example "this attribute cannot be
changed except administratively".
