Well, yes :-) But what I meant was that back there in 1999, the Netscape 
DS package was already far more advanced than the UM snapshot that the 
OpenLDAP project started with, and they still haven't quite caught up in 
my opinion. They didn't even support LDAPv3 until 2002, iirc.

Oh god, not the back-sql! I just know that somebody's itching to do it.

Actually, I remember about 3 years ago on the OL list, somebody from HP 
contributed code for OL to support the Netscape plugin API.
