Please add the liberal behaviour again even though this might hurt
your "LDAPv3 eyes".
These kind of pseudo-OIDs "objectClassName-oid" are used in
Netscape/iPlanet Directory Server and Novell eDirectory. It will
be unpossible to implement schema-aware LDAP applications with the
current behaviour.
IMHO an application should treat OIDs of object classes opaque
anyway. Therefore it would not hurt.
