I wonder, what other geographic ``variables'' (or objects?) have
found their way to LDAP? To put it differently, the (latitude,
longitude) pair describes a point on the Earth's surface. Are
there existing LDAP attributes (or object classes?) that will
allow one to describe more complex ``features'' upon the Earth's
surface, such as, e. g., polygons?

Seems to be not used much, as Google lists only two matches for
the OID.
