Wow this page is pretty good. Nice doco!
Ah, looks like a quite familiar pain. Just a note, in X.500/LDAP docs what you called an ATAV is known as an AVA. Might want to line up the terminology to make the correspondence clearer.
And may I suggest another optimization to consider - for your AttributeType internal structure, store a reference to the schema element, not a normalized OID. You're going to need to dereference fields of the schema definition frequently when dealing with it anyway, e.g. to find the syntax and what normalization rules it uses. And, whether you take this approach or not, you need a strategy for dealing with unrecognized attributeTypes. I.e., right now you're using the OID, but what happens if you're unable to find the OID?
Presumably the schema is always resident in memory, and a reference will be the most memory efficient...
