A content rule is a way of doing something similar to the above, but for all
instances of the structural object class.

[I thought that is what the question was trying to do]

The way on which a DIT is structured is defined using DIT structure rules.
These simply describe which object classes can appear at which points within
the DIT

and which attributes are used to name (i.e used to construct the
RDN) 

[By use of Name Form]

at each of those points. There are no built in rules and a person entry
can, if the designer of the DIT wishes, appear 'above' an organization
entry.

[Yes, your right. Didn't mean to leave the impression that structure rules
were etched in granite, although many products default to the structure rule
defined in X.521

sr13	STRUCTURE-RULE	 ::= {
	NAME FORM		orgPersonNameForm
	SUPERIOR RULES	{ sr2 | sr3 | sr4 }*****Read that as
"Organization"******
	ID				13 }
sr14	STRUCTURE-RULE 	::= {
	NAME FORM		orgPersonNameForm
	SUPERIOR RULES	{ sr10 | sr11 | sr12 }****Read that as
Organizational Unit*******
	ID				14 }
