RFC 1488, “The X.500 String Representation of Standard Attribute Syntaxes”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 1993 by T. Howes, S. Kille, W. Yeong, C. Robbins.

Abstract
This document defines the requirements that must be satisfied by encoding rules used to render Directory attribute syntaxes into a form suitable for use in the LDAP, then goes on to define the encoding rules for the standard set of attribute syntaxes defined in [1,2] and [3]. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
