	I agree.  The word "Directory" may be a keyword in OSI circles, but
it is not a keyword in IETF circles, and it is certainly not a keyword in
the minds of the many people plowing through the drafts directory in an
attempt to make some sense of the explosion of documents therein.  We should
perhaps have some small mercy on the newcomers.
