Ahhh, that looks like the space set aside for "experimental purposes"
that you are using ... I did the same thing my first time around and
found that the slapd devs have it used all through the codebase for
various bits and pieces, and I was tripping all over it. Your definition
looks fine to me, you may want to get your own IANA number and use that
to develop your schema under ... there is much less chance (i.e. 0) that
you will find yourself in conflict with slapd internals or someone elses
schema.
