All,

does anyone use the Oasis DSML standard? It’s a mapping between standard  
LDAP/LDIF operations and data structures to XML. There are some Java  
tools that handle DSML. I just saw a requirement for accessing an LDAP  
server by a service that requires results encoded in DSML, so I thought  
I’d better add this support to the Net::LDAP library.

Is this of interest to any of you? Interesting enough that you’d be  
willing to help beta-test it :-)?
