More - such functionality reminds me Lotus Domino enviroment, which is not 
object-oriented nor relational database, nor the hybrid of these. In Lotus 
each Entry stores a collection of Items (attributes), while each Item in 
the Entry can have arbitral number of independent, same-value or 
different-value variables. Access to each value of each entry is via
iteration over the collection. 
Quite confusing, AFAIR, and LDAP is, hopefully, far from such ideas ;-)
