Sure, I can merge those into a single config parameter.  I just made 
them separate since there is already a CONFIG_ON_OFF type that deals 
with things such as mapping "0/1" to "on/off".  Perhaps it would be good 
to add a new generic config type of CONFIG_ON_OFF_WARN that can take 
values of "0/1/2" or "on/off/warn".

Do you have any thoughts on the non-standard syntaxes that are mentioned 
in the design doc?  The "Binary" syntax would be difficult to remove 
since it is used by 20 or so attributes, including most of the 
certificate related attributes.  These attributes now have their own 
specific syntaxes, so we would have to add support for them before 
getting rid of the "Binary" syntax.  I think that the 
"SpaceInsensitiveString" and "URI" syntaxes can be removed since "URI" 
isn't used by any of the default schema and "SpaceInsensitiveString" was 
added specifically for the Presence plug-in.
