Aah, of course [Models] doesn't do it.  Yes, definitely "user
attributes".

Another variant: "from which user attributes with DN syntax can inherit".

Except, isn't [schema] right about saying "attribute types" rather than
"attributes"?


Also, the same error occurs in 2.18 (name):
   "The name attribute type is the attribute supertype from which
   attributes with the name syntax inherit."
