I guess that the behavior will be implementation dependant : Schema change
refused, Accepted but no modif in the data, Accepted and corrupt all data.

Netscape and iPlanet Directory Server ships with some default schema : The
standard schema (rfc 2252/2256 + some other published schemas) and the
schema for all Netscape applications.
Note that in the future, we may ship some schema but not enable it by
default. An application should always check if the schema it needs is
available.
