After re-reading that, I should have added it's a method for defining a
cross-reference to an external directory as well.  I'll try to be more
complete in the future - it's a new leaf I'm turning over ;)

It's possible they didn't know :)

X.500 is AKA PDN (parent distinguished name).   

5.5 implementations (when Outlook was written) used X.400 transport and a
X.500-like directory.  Using the X.500 address of the user on the target
migration system allows Outlook to resolve the originator's address in most
cases. 

This KB helps to explain how it gets derived and what it means to OL/cached
mode. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;839826
