Re: Aggregate Attributes

[Fred Baker <fred@cisco.com>]

I think the referent of "named" was that we have a single thing with an 
ASN.1-or-equivalent name, which has a multi-part value. That would appear 
to differ from your group of separately named attributes.

The difference, taking an InetAddress as an example, is the difference between

    three attributes InetAddress, InetAddressType, and 
InetAddressPrefixLength,

and

    one attribute InetAddress which internally contains a type, a value, and a
    prefix length.
