Subject: [xri-editors] LDAP/DSML additions to spec

The text below (in blue) is what I would propose adding to section 3.4
to give some support to the extensibility to the local access mechanisms
to other protocols and mechanisms.
John Veizades...
3.4 Local Access
Local access is the process of interacting with a network endpoint to
retrieve a representation of a network resource identified by an XRI. An
HTTP/HTTPS local access protocol is specified here, but other local
access protocols may be specified in the future. For instance a local
access could be based on LDAP/DSML and though it is not specified in
this document a local access mechanism based on either of these
protocols can be easily described. An issue that would need to be
addressed is the appropriate transformation of the XRI local part into
an LDAP distinguished name. This would include normalization of the XRI
local part string to the distinguished name syntax. Work on a LDAP/DSML
local access resolution mechanism for XRIs is left to a future XRI
specification.
