Okay, this is one that's causing most of my concern.

Mostly SLAP_LASTMOD().

>re: schema checking, we currently disable it on backends for sparse replication reasons (proxycache, syncrepl). I think we could make this a little more granular; probably if we only skip the test for required attributes (to allow sparse/partial entries) everything else would still work.

I rather mark the entries as shadow/cache copies and use that
marker to disable checks (that need only be performed on
master copies) than to have backends (or whatever) disable
checks.
