That seems reasonable. I believe the language should be reworked
slightly for clarity. I suggest:
If the AttributeType is in the following table of attribute types
associated with LDAP [RFC2252], then the type name string from that
table is used, otherwise it is encoded as the dotted-decimal encoding
of the AttributeType's OBJECT IDENTIFIER. The dotted-decimal notation
is described in [RFC2251].
String X.500 AttributeType
