Subject: "description" attribute in AD

Hi dochelp team,

the "description" attribute in AD seems very special. Altough defined as 
multi-valued in the schema it's defacto single-valued.

That means:
- on LDAP entry add operations you are able to set it multi-valued
- on LDAP entry change operations you aren't - e.g. if you try to replace it 
multi-valued or perform a multi-valued add you get ERR_ATTRIBUTE_ALREADY_EXISTS.

As far as I know I didn't find much in the docs about this strange behaviour 
and as far as I can tell it only applies to "description". It would be nice to 
enhance MS-ADTS regarding it and to start some investigation if it wouldn't be 
better to really define it as single-valued in the schema.

Greets,
Matthias
