Hello

I have a few minor comments:

1.
The definition of the deviceOwner attribute in section 2 indicates:
	"IDENTIFIED BY           id-deviceOwner"

This should be updated to reflect the text in Appendix A:
	"IDENTIFIED BY            id-aa-KP-deviceOwner"

2. 
The ASN.1 definitions (section 2 and appendix a) of DeviceOwner contain the
following:
       	"numericCountry     INTEGER ( SIZE (0...999),"

The ASN.1 (X.680) notation for a range separator is ".." rather than an
ellipsis. The syntax of the numericCountry choice should be changed to this:
 	"numericCountry     INTEGER ( SIZE (0..999),"

3.
The matching rule is defined to be:
  "This rule returns a TRUE if and only if the DeviceOwner value exactly 
   matches the presented value. "

By "exactly" do you mean that case is sensitive for the Printable Strings?
I.e. "AU" will not match "au"? 

4.
The ID indicates that no IANA considerations are required since the
identifiers are already registered. 
It would be preferable if the attribute type and matching rule definitions
were registered with the IANA LDAP descriptors registry. 

Regards,
Andrew Sciberras
