Subject: RE: [xri-editors] LDAP or DSML as local access protocol


I think we're talking about different things. I was simply asking how an
XRI-identified endpoint might advertise that other local access services
like LDAP or DSML were available at that endpoint, given that we have an
element of the Identifier Authority Descriptor for doing this. I know
that doesn't answer the question of how you would query for an
XRI-identified resource USING such local access service. But since the
endpoint at which the service is available MUST have an XRI, and it
already has an Identifier Authority Descriptor for describing it, I
guess I'm just asking why we are not providing the names of other common
local access protocols as options, even if we say that the current spec
does not define how to translate XRIs into queries in those protocols.

Well, if you don't define the LDAP query, then you can't have any
interoperability and therefore whats the purpose of "defining" an LDAP
local access protocol?

To put it concretely, if I have an XRI of "@example/foo.bar", and
@example identifies a particular LDAP server, then what LDAP query do I
perform? If thats not specified, then a local access protocol binding
really hasn't been defined..
