Doing such tends to cause far worse problems. It hinders our ability to
change the specification / implementation.

There might be misunderstanding here: I did not mean to publish it in a document. I meant just to make it available in sub schema sub entry.

Applications which ask for all user and operational attributes
(especially all operational attributes) should be able to do
safely handle (ignore?) elements they don't understand.  Or
they should just ask for elements they understand.

The big question is how much a-priori knowledge has to be put in an LDAP application without making it horribly inflexible.

To me your statements sounds like an application should ignore the sub schema sub entry completely using hard-coded schema element handling...
