If the LDAP/X.500 directory model and controlling subschema
allows but doesn't require the attribute to be present, then
slapd(8) will allow but require the attribute to be present.
Suggest you read up on the LDAP/X.500 directory model.  See
the General LDAP FAQ for reading suggestions.

It doesn't create a problem with slapd(8) or any OpenLDAP
client.  Whether it creates or not a problem in other
programs is a topic for lists specific to each particular
program.
