Note of course that this could be solved by using the mail attribute as 
the RDN (or naming attribute).

This would also solve namesspace collision issues (using cn as the 
naming attribute is not the best solution, as it is feasible to have two 
users withidentical cn's).

For compatability with other naming schemes (and allowing regex-based ACLs 
such as the last example in 
http://cvs.mandrakesoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/SPECS/openldap/slapd.access.conf?rev=1.2&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup) 
it might be an idea to use uid (which should also be guaranteed to be 
unique, but does not necessarily solve the uniqueness problem of the email 
address unless uid at domain is used and only the uid is editable via the 
interface).
