RE: DN "a published table" clarification

["Ryan Moats" <rmoats@coreon.net>]

One of my points in here is how will LDAPv3 in its
DS form deal with the whole naming rule, stucture rule and
content rule stuff.  If we keep them in the DS specs
(with implementation records) then I think I have my
escape clause as well.

As to my others, I seem to not have them in my head anymore,
but that' probably due to the cold that has taken up residence.

Yes.

Note that the DN specification fully supports use of
arbitrary naming attributes.  The question is not
which attributes may or may not be used in naming,
but how attributes which are used in naming are to
represented in the string

I am not sure I understand the approach... but if it
relies upon schema discovery or other information held
in a directory, it sounds like it has a catch-22 problem.
