Okay, I took a good look at it.  It seems that you're covering most of 
your bases in terms of compatibility with other address book 
readers/editors.  But, there's still a few others to add.  I, with the 
help of newsgroup posting, compiled a list of LDAP entries used (or 
read) by Outlook.  Here are the ones that you missed:

. Dialog Field            LDAP attribute
--------------            --------------
NAME
+ Middle                  initials
HOME
. Street Address          homePostalAddress, otherMailbox
* Fax                     otherFacsimileTelephoneNumber
* Pager                   otherPager
BUSINESS
. Street Address          postalAddress
. Zip Code                postalCode
. Country/Region          co
. Web Page                URL
+ Office                  physicalDeliveryOfficeName
. Fax                     officeFax
. Pager                   officePager
* IP Phone                IPPhone
OTHER
. Notes                   comment, info

+ - You don't have these in your address book, so I guess it doesn't
     matter much
* - Not the the AB, but these could be subsititued for home/office
     counterparts

I think once you put those in there, you'll have a completely compatible 
LDAP reader.  Hopefully, LDAP will replace Exchange and clones as the de 
facto address book format.

Will do...as long as they accept non-member postings.
