That seems reasonable.  I believe the language should be reworked
slightly for clarity.  I suggest:

  If the AttributeType is in the following table of attribute types
  associated with LDAP [RFC2252], then the type name string from that 
  table is used, otherwise it is encoded as the dotted-decimal encoding
  of the AttributeType's OBJECT IDENTIFIER. The dotted-decimal notation 
  is described in [RFC2251].  

  String     X.500 AttributeType
