>Has anything of this sort been addressed before? Is LDAP relevant.
So far, LDAP has been a TCP/IP clone of DAP, the OSI X.500 Directory Access
Protocol. X.500 directories are for people and other people-like entities
(like corporations). So LDAP is not relevant here.
FWIW, LDAP will likely have an influence on the Web, as it will provide a
standard method to get public-key information for people.
