Mark,
Several of us at NIST have reconsidered your question regarding
support for recursive DN's. Our conclusions are:
1. The question of support for recursive DN's is not specifically
addressed in the current OSI Implementors' Agreements.
2. There are no plans to address the topic in the next edition of the
Agreements. New text for the 1989 edition will be approved at the
next meeting in December, however, text to be added to the 1989
edition must already be in the Working Implementation Agreements.
The current Working Implementation Agreements do not consider
the question of recursive DN's.
3. If you desire the OSI Implementors' Workshop to specifically
address your question, you should contact the chairperson
for the Directory Special Interest Group. The chairperson is:
Chris Moore
Touch Communications Incorporated
250 East Hacienda Avenue
Campbell, CA 95008
Phone (408)374-2500
Fax (408)374-1680
e-mail: chris_moore@um.cc.umich.edu
Please be aware that Chris has recently relocated to the above
work location and we have not verified the new e-mail address.
If you have trouble contacting him you can send a message
to Michael Ransom (ransom@osi3.ncsl.nist.gov) and he will help you
get through.
We hope this helps.
