Main By reference issues:
1. Some servers may not want to do it (memory overhead in prnter for
example)
2. Security - how does the server gain access to the resources. NT can
do it with impersonation but that is not a generic solution.


Type Byte:
1 having a type byte implies that any attribute can have any format - in
the original design an attribute had a defined format. THis made it
simple for a server. What happens if an attribute has a type that the
server does not expect? Or should we define a set of allowed types for
each attribute. 
2. The main discussion seemed to be around allowing structured types
(address). What are these structured types?
