I'm very interested in how LDAP directories can support distributed
object systems as both a repository and naming service.

I would favour a more generic approach to codifying this schema. 
I'm sure it would be more interesting if the same scheme were
used to register and store CORBA, DCOM, and Java/RMI objects in
the directory.  This might enable some interoperability between
the different object architectures.
