No.  I suggest using a schema consistent with Netscape Calender (and
other applications you use) expects to find.  I believe you can find
detail information about schema requirements from Netscape's website
and/or NC's documentation.  (URLs were posted recently... but I don't
have them handy).

Just common sense...

You should use standard track schema items whenever possible.  You should
extend schema as necessary to fulfill your needs.  This will primarily be
driven by the applications you choose to use.

If you are need a OpenLDAP 1.x compatible schema definition for newer
standard track items, I suggest you post a specific request (containing
a list of the items desired) on OpenLDAP-software mailing list.  It's quite
likely that others have already typed in the appropriate slapd.conf
directives.
