Sylvain,

The number for that document is JTC1/SC21N 6063, and
the title is "Use of Object Identifiers to Access Directory Information."

Its purpose to enable the use of OIDs as a sort of "short form name,"
rather than find out information about the OID itself.  Perhaps it could
be used that way in some indirect fashion, though.

I don't have a soft copy of the document, but I could fax it if you can't
find your copy locally.
