I concur.  However, LDAP does not offer a number of other
features, such as client/server transactions, which might
be needed.

When folks start talking about intense write operations,
I generally refer them to Tim Howes' article "LDAP: Use
as Directed" <http://www.data.com/issue/990207/ldap.html>.
  "LDAP isn't a replacement for relational databases
  (and never will be)."
