Who benefits from this feature?

An admin copying&pasting a schema from an standard document which uses this format. I'm currently looking at such a document with ~500 occurences of OIDs used in declarations instead of NAMEs.

Which one? It's not RFC 4512 format. RFC 4512 uses ';' for comments _about_ the syntax of schema elements, not _in_ their syntax.

http://tools.ietf.org/draft/draft-dally-acp133-and-ldap/

There is a lot of crap in I-Ds, and even some crap in RFCs.

Yes. :-/

That's why I was asking whether it's feasible to be liberal in what you receive (read from config) but to be strict in what you send (add to the schema).

Ciao, Michael.
