Excellent!

Count me in, particularly for groups and mail-related objects.
Note that there is some overlap between the groups work and later
drafts of RFC2307bis. I would like to see groups factored out into
a separate document as it has wider implications.

I can see some conflict developing between 'do it right' and 'document
current practice' - particularly in 2307bis, password policy, and
inetOrgPerson. This probably needs resolving early as it has potential
to derail the effort later. One option is to do both - possibly in
separate documents.
