For the basic bind/search operations we'd start with, I don't think
there's much difference between v2 and v3. It's not like you need the v3
controls like VLV to do autocomplete or address book searches.

I scanned this, and it's interesting stuff, once you get into deep usage
of the protocol. One thing which seemed out of step with my experience
during Netscape 4.x is that LDAP installations were all over the map
with their use of character encodings and attribute names. Usage of
those two things wasn't as easily generalizable as the Zeilenga paper
purports.
