I've implemented the changes you've suggested:

- replace <uidattr_format> and <filter> with <query>. This deprecates
<uidattr> and <append-realm>. These are still supported, but <query>
overrides them. In the query, '&', '<' and '>' must be escaped as
'&amp;', '&lt;', and '&gt;' respectively (the standard XML escape
sequences). for example:
<query>(&amp;([EMAIL PROTECTED])(objectClass=inetOrgPerson))</query>

- only support %u and %r wildcards, %d was removed.

I still haven't understood the nuance of realm though... ^^; Oh well...

However, Epic Fail at updating the file on the Trac ticket page.
Tomasz, could you do that please?

Best,
jean
