We could do something like this for a very specific and limited set of 
attribute values.  The problem with general purpose use is that we have 
no "procedural" or "functional" programming language with which to 
define functions or operations (e.g. revision=revision+1) in the 
directory server (except for C - but I don't think that's what you 
mean).  I think the Apache Directory Server project has done some 
research into something like stored procs and triggers.

It's not possible to do a search like
ldapsearch -s sub -b "dc=top" "(uid=jondoe)"
