Are you sure? If yes, then please point out what's missing herein:

IMO it's the other way round:
You cannot use DIT Structure Rules without associated Name Forms.

The governing structure rule might limit the set of possible structural object 
classes in a part of a DIT but if absent or not applicable you can still limit 
to possible name form(s) for a chosen structural object class.

Also note that my web2ldap has full support for DIT Structure Rules and Name 
Forms. I've checked my code: Applicable name forms are determined by the 
structural object class, nothing else. I'm eager to correct any possible issue 
in my schema handling.

Ciao, Michael.
