I had a look around at the various LDAP schemas a while back and

There are several with different syntaxes used. So it's still a common
problem. :-/
Although having just thought about it again, I guess the
modifytimestamp is a date field.
First one should avoid using the LDAP syntax GeneralizedTime (e.g. used
for modifytimestamp) for an attribute storing date of birth since in
most cases the date of birth is only known without a time (and time
zone) and therefore a correct equality matching would not be feasible.
This directly rules out the definition of attribute type dateOfBirth in
RFC 2985.
Thanks for the reminder/warning.
