Hmm, I'm not sure I would consider this to be very high-level. If a
higher-level API is ever add to python-ldap it will definitely be
subschema-aware to map OID to NAME aliases and some more stuff and make
use of defaultdict stuff new in Python 2.5.

I'd prefer you to release this as a separate package on your own web
space since I wouldn't use it myself and therefore I'd not maintain it.
If you do so I would be glad to link to your project page from
python-ldap's web page so that others can find it easily.
Ciao, Michael.
