XDAP

I have recenly submitted 3 drafts which are relevant
to some of the discussions on this list.  For all you who
have read Scott's EPP drafts, you will notice a similar
approach.

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-newton-xdap-00.txt

This document describes an application layer client-server protocol
for a framework of representing the query and result operations of
directory services.  Specified in XML, the protocol defines generic
directory query and result operations and a mechanism for extending
these operations for specific directory service needs.

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-newton-xdap-ipdir-00.txt

This document describes an XDAP directory namespace and schema for
registered Internet address information.  The schema extends the
necessary query and result operations of XDAP to provide a
functional equivalent of the whois command syntaxes and results
often used by IP registries.

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-newton-xdap-domdir-00.txt

This document describes an XDAP directory namespace and schema for
registered DNS information.  The schema extends the necessary query
and result operations of XDAP to provide a functional equivalent of
the whois command syntaxes and results often used by domain
registries and registrars.
