I do not believe it makes sense to ignore a superior keyword.  The
server should either 1) require manual expansion or 2) honor the
keyword.

The future may not be what you expect... the new -devel schema parser
is designed to use RFC2252 based schema descriptions.

attribute ( 2.5.4.0 NAME 'objectClass' EQUALITY objectIdentifierMatch
      SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.38 )
objectclass ( 2.5.6.0 NAME 'top' ABSTRACT MUST objectClass )

If you want to ready for the future, I would suggest restricting
your use of home grown schema items to auxilary object classes.
