Well isn't that the beauty of text files and a protocol as flexible as 
X500?  I mean SO WHAT if company X wants to use different field names 
and/or structure.  One should still be able to model this data in a 
schema file and there are even examples of this on the web which other 
folks have used.  They are just disorganized and out of date makeing 
life hell for the newbie adminstrator.
