This feature should be avoided when defining LDAP schema because this causes
nothing than interop issues. AFAICS LDAP servers are free to return whatever
is in NAME in the search results no matter what the client requested.
Therefore smart client apps let you define a local attribute name map but not
every client app is smart... :-/
