Well, for example if you like to somehow integrate with OpenLDAP, recent 
versions, 2.1 and higher iirc, enforce structural integrity and do not 
allow the administrator to disable it.

IMO, structural integrity should be observed, but the administrator 
should have the chance to turn it off, just like schema checking.

To that end, I would like to see FDS enable structural integrity 
checking by default, with an on-off toggle.
