You'll end up looking for an alternative way (probably with several
entries linked in some way).
Yes, this is what we are currently experimenting with, by implementing
the concept of "family of entries" (see expired Internet Draft of David
Chadwick
http://www.watersprings.org/pub/id/draft-ietf-ldapext-families-00.txt )
with such, you can have a main entry, e.g. modelled by inetOrgPerson and
have several subentries, e.g. with evolutionPerson and
mozillaAbPersonAlpha, or with own objectclasses for different types of
contact data. Implementing such in an application so it can display all
family members as one entry is not trivial but not too difficult either.

birthday,
This is really missing. I'm using my own AUXILIARY object class msPerson
which also contains such an attribute.
instant messaging names
I'd argue that these are specific to certain IM applications. Each of
these applications should define an AUXILIARY object class to be added
to person entries
and such.
Eh, yes?
On my search for the golden schema I found Mozilla's
mozillaAbPersonAlpha and evolutionPerson. Mozilla's schema looks kinda
alpha to me.
Evolution and Thunderbird don't support each other's schema, and
KAddressbook also doesn't like one of them.
I'd avoid all of these. IMHO they are broken.
Is there something like a standard schema that, if not all, but most
address applications support?
Nothing more than inetOrgPerson.
Ciao, Michael.
