Directory Services Markup Language (DSML) is a proposal to make
directory data available in the XML format.
DSML enables XML-based applications in the following categories:
eCommerce, eBusiness, network management, directory management,
Intra-directory synchronization/access, and customer support.
See http://www.dsml.org for details on DSML.

The feature is to add a JNDI service provider for DSML access.
This would enable applications to access directory data via DSML
and allow customers to build Java-based applications that use
DSML in the categories listed above.
