I object to the titles of these internet drafts.

There are many directory systems being developed by many standards and
proprietary groups.  If those working in the OSI context wish, within
that context, to pretent that X.500 is the only directory system, they
are welcome to do so.  But I find it misleading, arrogant, and
offensive for documents to be initiated in the IETF context which
refer to "the Directory" or in some cases just "Directory" when
refering to one particular directory system among many.
