Amen.  Or even a ldif-lint standalone utilty that would offer basic 
sanity checks against a schema - font sets (my bane), spaces at end of 
lines, even duplicate entries or illegal entries.  We lost about a third 
of our database when we converted to ldap - all due to basic things like 
differences in format of phone numbers, illegal characters like spaces 
at end of lines, and cr/lf instead of \n from DOS clients.

Food for thought,
