Dear Stephen,

I'd like to make my usual comment that somehow always gets forgotten :(

as far as i know this is the first real review of the old draft. the original 
version was prepared in a big hurry by a single technology provider (glite team) 
and unfortunately it never received the proper attention of other players.

what we have as of Today is an old draft NOT corresponding to the sever-side 
implementations out in production and a review made by NorduGrid. I wouldn't 
claim that there is an OGF WG agreement over the glue ldap rendering.

But, the most important thing is this: fortunately glue 2 ldap is only deployed 
on the server side, there are publishers with glue2 data out BUT very little if 
none has happened on the information consuming side: it is still the right time 
to fix the problems that came up during the implementation phase.

no, nordugrid does not want to develop a new implementation. nordugrid would 
like to clean up the ldap rendering and submit a consistent redndering document 
for OGF standardization.


bye,
