TreeStructure is an out of date component of QUIPU.  If you do any
modifications at all you should consider implementing the structure
rules as offered by X.500(93).  These are stored "out of the way" in
sub entries of the DIT, but have the advantage of being available to
DUAs over DAP if they need to be accessed for some reason.
