You are right of course, it wouldn't and would therefore be potentially
hazardous.  But supposing I know what I am doing and only ever export
the same subtree to the same OU, then I wouldn't have a problem.  My
idea is that it would be nice to be able to avoid creating a whole lot
of OUs which be of no significance to the person reading out LDAP and
could well not even contain any information.

But maybe worrying about collisions would make it more trouble than it
is worth.
