As I said before, in glue the ID attribute *is* the unique key which
identifies the object, so that is the thing which should be used in
relations. The schema is not just some generic entity-relation model, it
has very specific properties, and many of those are intended to make it
easy to implement in LDAP (e.g. no tables). Actually the relational
implementation has more problems, given the multivalued attributes and
many-to-many relations which are easy in LDAP but harder in SQL.
