# The Netscape documentation describes this as an auxiliary objectclass
# but their implementations have always defined it as a structural class.
# The sloppiness here is because Netscape-derived servers don't actually
# implement the X.500 data model, and they don't honor the distinction
# between structural and auxiliary classes. This fact is noted here:

# In accordance with the actual usage in practice, we define it as an
# auxiliary class.
#
# Our definition of memberURL also does not match theirs but again
# their published definition and what works in practice do not agree.
# In other words, the Netscape definitions are broken and interoperability
# is not guaranteed.
