Bug Description

The Perl based DBD field parser is too strict. While the C parser will silently ignore unknown recordtype field attributes, the Perl parser treats this as an error (eg. add_attribute() in src/tools/DBD/Recfield.pm). This unnecessarily removes a place for forward compatibility.

I think this needs to be addressed before the next 3.15 release.
