Can you clearly define what "reasonable compatibility" really means in
this case?

Could you please elaborate on which LDAP client is affected?

And are you and the developers of this LDAP client aware that originally
this attribute was meant to carry a signed S/MIME message with empty
body to also carry the S/MIME capabilities of a client?

The only client I know of which supported this was Netscape Communicator
4.x back in '98 last century. This was a user self-service action
(because it involved signing with the user's private key which was
protected with passphrase). After that I never saw a client making
correct use of this attribute.

Ciao, Michael.
