Paul -
Hope this reply is still relevant to you - I've been off-line for a couple
of weeks.

This is actually LDAP server behaviour - nothing to do with the taglib. The
LDAP spec requires that only attributes with content be returned from a
search.

It really depends on how/if the server implements schema searching! If it's
a V3 compliant server, you should be able to perform a search for the schema
in one of a couple of ways. Have a look at RFC2251 and related documents
for details, or any good LDAP programming book!
I've got adding specific schema support on my list for the taglib, but the
priority isn't all that high at present.
