I responded in my response to John Cowan. I think I would want to reopen this issue. Compatibility is a Good Thing, but as I said, I think language negotiation has evolved somewhat and you could incorporate more of 4647 rather than strictly requiring Basic Filtering.

Addison,

so I had a look at RFC 4647 and I'm totally open to allow more than Basic Filtering; but I'm not sure about what exactly we want to say...

- require to try Basic Filtering First, but allow to fall back to Lookup when nothing is returned?

- just stay point to Section 3.1 and leave it to the implementer?

Best regards, Julian
