How about using the LDAP qurey syntax:


object_property = value
object_property < value


More advanced operations coule be done like

(& (property = value) (other_property < value))


Chris from DC posted some LDAP specs to the list that summed up the syntax
pretty well.

One thing that could be done is to say that if no property name is
specified then it means to search any property.
