I think an argument like "a bibliography in a document does not contain all the text listed in the referenced books or papers" should be sufficient. Using the X.500 technology to store "pointers" to documents is fine, using it as a "file transfer tool" is totally inadequate. The technology should provide "hints" to another application suited to this kind of job (e.g. FTP or FTAM or Z39.50). You cannot retrieve the file system of a host you lookup through the DNS!
