I believe that a quite useful replicated directory could be deployed
with limited security functionality until an ACM standard is completed. 

How, you ask? As someone else noted, the access policy could be kept in
synch out of band. In practice, that would mean access policy would have
to be simple, and change infrequently. A very useful, and quite
depoyable, policy that meets that requirement is one that allows
everyone read, and one person or group update, to the contents of the
whole server (or whole naming contexts within the server, if you want to
get slightly more complex).
