I know that LDAP will return an error if you try to create or modify an
object and pass an attribute with a null or empty value.  That might have
been the original motivation  for putting a space in the field.  However,
unless the 'mail' attribute is required by one of the dependant
objectclasses (which it doesn't appear to be) it shouldn't be set with
bogus data.  In my opinion it shouldn't be set with bogus data *at all* if
it can be avoided.
