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

["Wachob, Gabe" <gwachob@visa.com>]

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..
