So where is the document describing this and where does it sit within
the ietf-open-pgp framework. Does this exist ? Will the group accept
submissions from third parties who already have been storing PGP keys in
LDAP already, or is this not going to be part of open-pgp ? What is the
format by which 5.5 does the LDAP queries ?
