The Identity Manager engine currently uses the application schema for the following:
DirXML Script uses the dn-format/dn-delims to figure out how to parse or convert DNs coming from and going to the application.
To set the multi-valued flag on attributes that are used during the attribute merge process that happens as part of a match, resync, or migrate.
