If there are no restrictions, that would be:

4.1.4:
  "An attribute type can appear in a matching rule use even
  if the corresponding matching rule definition in [Syntaxes]
  does not allow the attribute type's syntax."

I might note that this is _not_ how OpenLDAP works now.
That creates e.g. a matchingRuleUse for caseIgnoreMatch
which does not allow seeAlso, which has a different syntax.

Furthermore,

  "If a matching rule has no corresponding matching rule use,"
  ..."it can be used with any attribute type."?
  ...or if not, when can it be used?
