In any case, maybe OpenLDAP could be made to accept this filter: (facsimileTelephoneNumber:telephoneNumberMatch:=foo) OpenLDAP doesn't support indexing for extended filters though.

I don't think extended filters would help with selective attribute deletion (my syntax may be wrong):

dn: uid=username,dc=example,dc=com changetype: modify delete: facsimileTelephoneNumber facsimileTelephoneNumber:telephoneNumberMatch:=+1 (555)555 5555

True, LDAP does not support that for attributes without EQUALITY matching rules. (So there is no LDIF syntax for it:-) For such attributes you need to read the entry and use replace:, listing the values you want to keep.
