The subentry object class is defined in X.501.  The
draft-zeilenga-ldap-subentry-xx.txt details how X.500
can be accessed using LDAP.  While the syntaxes used
in LDAP differ from those used in DAP, the semantics
are basically the same.

It is the authors' intent to only to define how to
access the this portion of the X.500 administrative
model using LDAP.  Changes to the actual administrative
model are, in our view, beyond the scope of this I-D.
Discussion regarding such changes and/or extensions of
the model should be directed to the appropriate ITU SG
as the ITU has change control over X.501.

I also note that X.500 administrative model allows for
role specific semantics to be associated with certain
aspects of the model.  It might be possible, though not
necessarily appropriate, to associate the desired
semantics with the replication subentry object class.
