Well, that RFC is a useful basis.

With the LDAP parts of the Address Books in SeaMonkey and Thunderbird I 
have been looking at the various decisions that need to be made to get 
writing to ldap servers working. As part of this, for new cards, we need 
to be able to set up the DN with something reasonable. We can use the 
baseDN to form the basis of the DN, but we'd need something for the rest 
of it. So as you suggest, maybe the best solution is to make it 
configurable behind the scenes (or advanced) and allow the user to 
select a subset of fields, e.g. cn and email or location.

Thanks to everyone for the input so far.
