One suggestion, could you create a custom schema that defines those
attributes that you want to deviate from the core, but with a prefix.
e.g. telephoneNumber becomes myTelephoneNumber.  You could then (I
think) use the rewrite overlay (slapo-rwm) to map requests for
telephoneNumber to myTelephoneNumber.  Note that I've never actually
done this (just trying to throw an idea in), perhaps someone with some
practical experience of the overlay could comment on whether this would
be a practical solution.
