I find this an interesting proposition, since I though the major contribution of
X.500 was to provide an efficient name-driven navigation mechanism. If you
remove that, what is left of attractive in X.500 to be saved, and how do you
do name navigation otherwise (by broadcast searches,maybe)?
Can you elaborate this very interesting thought?
