- Note: This is a PostScript RFC, a secondary version is available in
- ASCII. The secondary ASCII version may lack figures and the
- information encoded in typographic variation (italics, boldface,
- etc.). Since this information often provides essential context, the
- ASCII version is at best incomplete and at worst misleading. Anyone
- expecting to understand this document is strongly encouraged to obtain
- the PostScript version.

- This RFC considers X.500 in relation to Internet and UK Domains. A
- basic model of X.500 providing a higher level and more descriptive
- naming structure is emphasised. In addition, a mapping of domains
- onto X.500 is proposed, which gives a range of new management and user
- facilities over and above those currently available. This
- specification proposes an experimental new mechanism to access and
- manage domain information on the Internet and in the UK Academic
- Community. There is no current intention to provide an operational
- replacement for DNS.
-
- This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
- Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested. Please
- refer to the current edition of the "IAB Official Protocol Standards"
- for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
- Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
