No, there isn't one.  Which indicates further how dreadful the LDAP
support in mail clients actually is.  We can argue about the fine points
about schema but the fact is: it is the clients that *SUCK*.

Our solution, ultimately, has been to more-or-less abandon the use of
LDAP as a network address book / yellow-white pages.   We now use a
WebDAV+vCard solution.  Most clients can at least import a vCard
correctly; for whatever reason most developers bothered to read *that*
specification. :)  Several clients can actively use a WebDAV repository.
On the server side we use OpenGroupare.  Of course that is off-topic for
this list.
