>(2.16.840.1.113730.3.1.40) in inetOrgPerson?  

My understanding is that a SMIMECertificate != pgp public key.  This was
thrashed out on the OpenLDAP list a while back.  There are public LDAP-backed
PGP key exchanges, so there must be a schema somewhere, but I haven't found it yet.

I did find a note on the syntax, it should always be ASCII.  The key is encoded
as a hex string and prefixed with a "0x".  No OIDs or attribute names yet,  I'll
look some more on my lunch.

Since many applications use calFBURL, etc..., and may place the information in
the Dit as such, I think we should just go with the rfc2839 attributes.
