An other interesting use of the Directory which is under investigation
at several   places  is for   supporting  FTAM    servers  attributes.
The Directory can be  used for describing FTAM  servers  capabilities,
service classes, quality of service and so forth. 
As I   expect  various   flames about   FTAM,  I   consider this  as a
more  larger  work  which could  fit  into  the  Network   Information
Retrievial activity which has been  largely discussed at the last IETF
meeting.   Some aspects   of  this    (not FTAM-related though)    has
been  already  introduced in Steve's  document "Representing the  Real
World in  the Directory" (I don't have the OSI-DS number at hand).
