Yes, that's what i suspected too. But I thought one of

#define LDAP_SCHEMA_ALLOW_DESCR		0x04
/* Allow descr instead of OID   */

#define LDAP_SCHEMA_ALLOW_DESCR_PREFIX	0x08
/* Allow descr as OID prefix  */

#define LDAP_SCHEMA_ALLOW_OID_MACRO	0x10
/* Allow OID macros in slapd */

would do the trick.

Jacek already has a pure-Python parser in his curses-based LDAP

I suspect that Kurt will not accept that but I will try to file an 
issue report anyway.

No.
