It seems that this is a monolithic schema file also containing standard 
attribute type declarations normally already defined within OpenLDAP's 
schema files. Are you planning to do it that way when deploying Samba 4 
with OpenLDAP? I understand that there might be subtle differences 
between AD's schema declaration and how things are defined in RFCs.

But such a redefinition of standard schema elements would be problematic 
because OpenLDAP internally has hard-coded schema elements you cannot 
change by configuration. (These are just left as comments within the 
schema config files shipped with OpenLDAP.) And you don't know which 
schema elements will be transferred from schema files to the C code in 
the future.

Ciao, Michael.
