Is it really a violation? RFC2252 (4.4. Object Classes) says:
In general every entry will contain an abstract class ("top" or "alias"), at
least one structural object class, and zero or more auxiliary object
classes.

In contrary, I couldn't find anywhere why the entry can't contain more than
1 structural class.
