I’d suggest extending AD schemas to handle this is not practical. Probably the same for IPA, but I must admit I am not that familiar with it.
Actually this is a very good point. I think that content management system like Satellite is probably what you should look for.
The beauty of using LDAP attributes is that it requires no special software to maintain and it is easily implementable.
So despite its obvious disadvantages, I believe it would find its use in smaller networks.
I am no expert over content management systems so if it (CMS) is on the IPA roadmap already, then fine, but if not, then something like this (ldap attrs) would be (maybe) a good starting point.
