X.500 as document repository

[[e-mail]]

Well, X.500 has gotten such good press that we've got users
who want to use it for everything, including holding documents
for browsing and retrieval.  The problem is, although it sounds
wrong, I don't have any technical reasons for arguing them out
of their notion.  Are there restrictions on attribute lengths
(2k octets?), session PDUs (10k octets), total size of an 
entry (object size), or something that makes keeping a section
of a document as an object (in a TEXT_BODY type of attribute)
impossible.  Without such technical basis, it's just a religious
argument as to how large an entry should be.  I'd appreciate
solid technical reasons (beyond quipu's usage of RAM and
other early implementation problems).  Thanks.
