One server side control that can be very useful is the ability to search by
nick names. 
That is, encapsulating the knowledge that:
"William" = "Will" = "Bill" = "Billy" = "Wilberto" = "Willem"

Than, applications looking for Billy will be able to leverage this centrally
stored functionality and find the person even if his name is actually
William.

This feature will be highly appreciated by enterprises looking to deploy a
meta-directory.
