Keep in mind that you can edit schema using the console if the schema 
you are editing is in 99user.ldif.  If you put it in any other file, the 
console will see it as read-only.

As a "good" practice, I'd say if you are testing or have schema that 
changes often (for whatever reason), use 99user.ldif, but once you have 
a stable schema, put it in a separate file for maintainability.  If you 
are rolling out multiple apps with custom schema in each, it would 
probably be userful to put separate apps customizations in separate 
files (i.e. 98mail.ldif, 98cal.ldif, etc).  Just makes it easier to keep 
things straight.
