>The key issue: X.500(88) is insufficient. The main reasons > a) there is no replication model > b) there is no mechanism for representing knowledge in the directory This is certainly true, Steve. But in fact, there is a wider problem with X.500: c) the scope of searches is only determined by the name structure. That is, a server cannot hold "everything about research in France" if there is not a "research" branch in the naming tree. It is supposed to hold "everything about France" which is in practice undoable. The fact is that we cannot perform distributed data base access intelligently and resort a mixture of crude hierarchies and brute force replications. Hierarchies and caching are OK for a "read only" service, e.g. DNS. They make a stinking white page service. Christian Huitema
