Re: [provision] Questions...

The reason that DSML is considered relavent is that some current provisioning
systems and account management systems use LDAP to represent provisioned
accounts. Many of the original XRPM participants (including myself) felt that
even if LDAP was not used directly, the LDAP way of representing schema and
data was a good model for use in a provisioning standard.
