Paul, Martin,

I think that there is an important issue which should be tackled in
OSI-DS or in one of the groups that is being spun out.   

Erik is right that we should not get into the business of handling
URLs, URNs, etc.   The URI WG is handling that.

However,  I think that there is a piece of X.500 Schema specification
to be done, which encompasses your suggestions and the NADF attribute
that Marshall noted.   Essentially it is a mechanism to point from
X.500 to an external object using MIME, or URL or other notation.   I
think that it would be very valuable to produce a short I-D on this,
which would eventually be adopted into the Internet Schema.   

I think that this is a sufficiently important function, and the
implementation will cause sufficient contraversy, that it should be
done independently of the core schema.   There is a need for a new
object classes and attributes.


Perhaps one of you would volunteer to take on this work?
