A Revised Internet Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the OSI Directory Services 
Working Group of the IETF.                                            

Note: This revision reflects comments received during the last call period.

       Title     : Using the OSI Directory to Achieve User Friendly 
                   Naming

The OSI Directory has user friendly naming as a goal.  A simple minded
usage of the directory does not achieve this.  Two aspects not 
achieved are: 1)  A user oriented notation  and  2)  Guessability.    

This proposal sets out some conventions for representing names in a 
friendly manner, and shows how this can be used to achieve really 
friendly naming.  This then leads to a specification of a standard 
format for representing names, and to procedures to resolve them. This
leads to a specification which allows directory names to be 
communicated between humans.  The format in this specification is 
identical to that defined in the reference of "A String Representation
of Distinguished Name", and it is intended that these specifications 
are compatible.
