Re: LDAP outcome entry

[Eliot Lear <[e-mail]>]

  Hi Dave,

As I see it there are two parts to LDAP- the transport and the schema.  
If you were to break it up as such, you could say that the transport had 
little to do with X.500 and the schema can be said to be a derivative 
work, based on experimental experiences of the Quippu folk, led by 
Marshall Rose & Steve Kille.
