For the sake of a good discussion can we please have a
definition of "directory service" and "address
registry" to make sure we are all on the same page.
I think we will find that defining these may be the
issue, and this will clarify the discussion to
something that we can get our arms around.

like to second the fact
that DNS is an address registry and not a directory
service.

As I recall, didn't we (members of the IETF list)
almost have a holy (flame)
war, about wheather DNS was a directory service
about 6 months ago......
Once more into the breech dear friends........ (with

Buzzt. 1000 times on the chauk board:
The DNS is not a directory service...
