That sounds like a reasonable first step but it still lacks
the use case, eg someone saying "now, here, this doc wants to
use GnuMed for that and his GP division's address book
is offered as LDAP at this address, so let's give him the
tool". I strongly believe in such things. They make first
implementations so much easier.

And, at the end of the day, reliable local LDAP servers are
likely to store their information in PostgreSQL anyways (under
their own governance, that is).
