Summary: Ready with question.



Questions:

In Introduction:

   This document reintroduces the binary option.
   However, except for the case of certain attribute syntaxes whose
   values are required to BER encoded, no attempt is made here to
   eliminate the known consistency problems.  Rather the focus is on
   capturing current behaviours.  A more thorough solution is left for a
   future specification.

While I understand the very good reasons for correctly documenting
current behavior, I do not understand why this would be a standards
track as opposed to an informational activity.  Would not the
standards activity be reserved for the thorough and consistent
solution?



Note:

Some of the sentences are difficult to read, largely because of the
occasional absence of necessary articles and due to problematic
punctuation.
