We have at least two LDAP servers here (OpenLDAP and AD), but will never
need any interoperability between them.
Interoperability is important, but I think the price is too high
sometimes. Like in this case. I don't like to have to pay too much for
features I know I won't need. That's why I think the prohibit step
should only be a SHOULD or RECOMMENDED, with a 'MAY allow admins to turn
it off'.

That only helps if I can hack the server to add new matching rules, or
if I'm satisfied with using Octet String for string data and don't need
features like case-ignore matching.
