Are you sure ?
You can always change the value of the dc attribute or rename the object. !
With dc these are the only possibilities since it is SINGLE-VALUED.
With other naming attributes (i.e. cn) you can add another value
to the attribute.
Maybe renaming will not work with this "specific" DIT setup, since
deleteoldrdn has to be TRUE on a single-valued attribute.
(Maybe you can test it with your setup ,-)
As an old-aged Novell admin, you should have known this.
Novells eDirectory enforces this requirement too.

Or they upgrade their DITs to match the requirements of the RFCs !
