Yes. Might it be possible that dE (miss)reads 'SUB' as 'subprdinate' when it actually
means 'subclass'?  When talking about LDAP the term 'subordinate'  does have a well

Hmm - but while this might be true it's a tautology. Given:

 objectclass ( 2.5.6.0 NAME 'top' ABSTRACT
	MUST objectClass )

What attributes of 'TOP' are you talking about?  ;-)
