I'm not quite sure what this means.

It is not legal in LDAP to have an attribute with no values. Some
attributes have syntaxes which support values which are zero-length
strings, which is *not* the same as 'no value'. (Example: distinguished
names can be zero-length, ie the root has a string DN of "".)
