I concur that the password policy should be divorced from the
password storage.  It's my view that, like RFC2251, the password
policy should not place any restrictions upon how servers store
credentials.

As far as the pwdHistory attribute type, I would suggest avoid
defining it.  That is, the policy needed concern it self with
how a server records the history to enforce the policy.  It
just needs to enforce the policy.
