Sure, I can merge those into a single config parameter. I just made
them separate since there is already a CONFIG_ON_OFF type that deals
with things such as mapping "0/1" to "on/off". Perhaps it would be
good to add a new generic config type of CONFIG_ON_OFF_WARN that can
take values of "0/1/2" or "on/off/warn".
Do you have any thoughts on the non-standard syntaxes that are
mentioned in the design doc? The "Binary" syntax would be difficult
to remove since it is used by 20 or so attributes, including most of
the certificate related attributes. These attributes now have their
own specific syntaxes, so we would have to add support for them before
getting rid of the "Binary" syntax. I think that the
"SpaceInsensitiveString" and "URI" syntaxes can be removed since
"URI"
isn't used by any of the default schema and "SpaceInsensitiveString"
was added specifically for the Presence plug-in.
The problem is that there is no
way to know if someone is using these.
We should figure out a way to deprecate them or allow them to be
switched on and off, with the default being off. That way, if someone
really is using them, they can turn them on while the migrate to using a
standard syntax.
