Re: A philosophical question about large directory structures

I'm catching up on this thread (and IETF stuff in general). I've been soaked 
whilst (amusingly enough) deploying a directory here.

The doc Chris' referring to might be this one..

  Requirements for Distinguished Names in Autonomous to Loosely-coupled 
  LDAP-based Directory Services
  http://info.internet.isi.edu:80/in-drafts/files
    /draft-hodges-ldap-dir-dn-reqs-00.txt

I received various bits of feedback on the doc way back when and a revision is 
in progress, it's just been slowed down a tad by the aforementioned directory 
project here @stanford. Seems to me that some of the ideas in the dir-dn-reqs 
draft can be woven into the drafts others have mentioned in this thread, but I 
haven't read 'em all in detail yet.

I'm hoping that I'll be able to dive back into this fray this fall/winter in 
the context of my new position with Oblix.
