The same is true of DNS: which domain should you search? If you can't
find something in DNS then how do you find it in LDAP, and visa versa?
By pushing garbage from DNS to LDAP you at least have a hint of
directory and database (the DAP part). DNS, it seems to me, is more of
a locator service but people are trying to make it a database.
