I'm concerned about the attributes. Does adding of the top object class
(or person) add all attributes to the entry?

No.  Look up the difference between "MUST" and "MAY".  It means it is
*possible* to set any of the attributes in an entry, with a value.
MUST attributes are required, MAY are optional.

Ok, so you can add attributes which are not included in the 'MAY' of the
most subordinate object class the entry belongs to.

Location in the objectclass hierarchy is irrelevant here. You can add attributes that are included in the MUST or MAY of *any* of the classes associated with the object.


And *any* includes all object classes in the superclass chain of the object classes the entry explicitly belongs to?
