So it is type unicode string, but does that mean ANY valid unicode string can be the uid?

Yes, uid can be ANY unicode string. Which, if you think about it, can introduce some fairly ugly and unwanted problems into an application that tries to use this attribute for authentication purposes. MS introducing the RFC 822 formatted uPN attribute is a good answer to this problem. Would be nice if it were included as part of the base class definitions for the next ratified RFC for LDAP.
