Re: LDIF standardization, couple of questions

[Patrick.Fantou@mch.sni.de (Patrick Fantou)]

Hi Sanjay,
By making LDIF a standard, we just standardize an Export/Import
Format which is already used now by a lot of products.
The problem is that this format is in use, but is not a standard now
and should become one.

It is important to have the possibility to refer to a standard in order
to avoid interoperability problems between the exporting and the
importing systems. 
Regards
Patrick
