2. Problem
Need to lose some things
Need to recover some things

3. Solution…Lose this
Section 4.35 A Managed Object MAY be part of a group of objects. An object MAY belong to more than one group of objects. To assign an object to a group of objects, the object group name SHOULD be set into this attribute. “default” is a reserved Text String for Object Group.
Useless text. What does it even mean? “Should” be used? “Must” be used? “Must NOT” be used?
No usage illustrated in testcases
Remove the text

4. Solution…Restore this
V1.4 Section 3.39 “Custom Attribute” vs V2.0 Section 4.53 “Vendor Attribute”
Inadvertently lost the distinction that servers “own” y- attributes and clients “own” x- attributes
Need to preserve the 1.x semantics around the client/server split, even as we add a more generalized “vendor” attribute
Restore the distinction
Vendor Attributes created by the client with Vendor “x” are not created (provided during object creation), set, added, adjusted, modified or deleted by the server.
Vendor Attributes created by the server with Vendor “y” are not created (provided during object creation), set, added, adjusted, modified or deleted by the client .

5. Conclusion Simple changes Clarity is a wonderful thing
