Ok. The preliminary schema of the Mozilla people can be found at
http://wiki.mozilla.org/MailNews:LDAP_Address_Books
This schema does not look like it will will go much beyond the
inetOrgPerson schema. So, effectively the LDAP storage module can
only store about a third of the attributes that I can enter into the
addressbook.
Besides, I get no warning that I loose a lot of my information when I
move my contacts from a fully supported storage backend to a LDAP
server. I think there should at least be a warning to prevent data
loss. I'll file a bug against kdepim report in the Debian BTS.
