No. Name forms are only used when a DIT Structure Rule references them.
Are you sure? If yes, then please point out what's missing herein:
PS: you should read X.501(1993) for the exact text, since LDAP must conform to that spec. Section 12.6.

IMO it's the other way round:
Your opinion is wrong.
You cannot use DIT Structure Rules without associated Name Forms.
The governing structure rule might limit the set of possible structural object classes in a part of a DIT but if absent or not applicable you can still limit to possible name form(s) for a chosen structural object class.
No, if there are no DIT structure rules then there are no constraints whatsoever on the naming or placement of entries.
Also note that my web2ldap has full support for DIT Structure Rules and Name Forms. I've checked my code: Applicable name forms are determined by the structural object class, nothing else. I'm eager to correct any possible issue in my schema handling.
Ciao, Michael.
