name form for inetOrgPerson with uid as naming attribute?



Hello,
  it's common practice to store objects of object class
inetOrgPerson with uid as naming attribute in an LDAP directory.
But - AFAIK - there is no name form allowing that; so LDAP
servers which care about name forms (e.g. X.500 servers) reject this.

It's quite boring to define this name form in each new directory
project I have ... (and, additionally, it's always a new
object identifier of the OID branch of the customer ...).

Is it possible to define this name form in any of the LDAP
standard documents?

draft-zeilenga-ldap-user-schema-06.txt doesn't mention name forms.
Neither do draft-ietf-ldapbis-user-schema-05.txt or RFC2798.

Or is it outside the scope of LDAP to define name forms?

Regards,  Jochen Keutel.
