One can also remove the whole attribute with LDAP_MOD_DELETE by specifying 
attribute type (without specifying certain attribute value) and re-add the 
whole attribute with all updated attribute values using LDAP_MOD_ADD, all in 
one ModifyRequest.

What I've learned this seems to be more robust in general with many LDAP 
servers than using LDAP_MOD_REPLACE (e.g. when updating sub schema sub entry 
of Netscape 4.x directory server).
