Tobias,

IMO the concept of cn is a bit weak at least for a large LDAP dir contents. In 
our office, we have about 10.000+ addresses in the directory. There are 
duplicates of given name and name, so we couldn't help but add the email 
like "Andreas Gungl (gungl at domain)".

Guess what happens in Kmail when looking up addresses. The address completion 
is seriously broken, offering things like "Andreas (gungl at domain)" 
and "(gungl at domain), Andreas". - Sorry, the exmaples are not completely 
correct, as I'm not in the office ATM. Use cases in KAddressbook aren't 
concerned.

So I think it's a bit more to do than coding 10 lines in Python. If you're 
interested in an investigation, I would welcome you in our Dresden office.

Andreas
