	Title		: Approach for identifying different schemas in effect 
                          across a Directory Name-space

IETF RFC 2251 [RFC2251] provides a mechanism for indicating, given 
any particular entry in the directory tree, what entry in the 
directory tree holds the directory schema information for that 
particular entry.  RFC 2251 does not, however, provide guidance on 
how different directory servers, each of which might have their own 
active directory schema, should ôpublicizeö this directory schema 
such that the different active schemas are distinct from one another 
when viewing the entire directory name-space.  This document 
describes a way to name sub-schema sub-entry entries such that 
different active schemas can be distinguished from one another 
across the entire directory name-space.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
