Mapping attributes from multiple hash values can generate hideous results
if some of the attributes are not set. Example:

'name' => array('fields' => array('firstname', 'lastname'),
                          'format' => '%s %s', 
                          'attribute' => 'cn'),

If firstname is not set, cn becomes " Lastname"  with a leading space.

Would be nice if mapped attributes get trimmed afterwards, maybe even on
multiple whitespaces within the string. Yes, there cannot be a general trim
rule, but maybe another map parameter just for the (common?) whitespace
separation?
