I'll put some more time into this in a couple of days but the first thing
that jumps out at me is that this should be a MAY instead of a SHOULD. Too
many round-trips spent on query setup will make this service unusable for
fast lookups. There might be some other options for dealing with the need
for this, such as having the control returned as a bind response similar
to firsVersion.

Also, does there need to be any wording on how the data should be
encapsulated within an LDAP URL?
