RE[4]: LDAP write possibility

I think you meant "[t]his isn't the way LDAP directories are typically used." Every DSA implementation I'm aware of can be configured to provide space for multiple public and private address books. With proper Access Controls in place, non-sensitive address books can be public and read-only and private address books can be visible only to their owners and the appropriate managerial users, for whom they may or may not be writable.
Given the value of address book information to most organizations it's just silly to allow 3,647 different versions of that information to be squirreled away in as many users' privately-owned data stores.

This isn't the way LDAP directories typically work. They are meant to be read only from the end user's perspective.
