Does it tend to replace LDIF, or do they have different purpose ?
You could replace LDIF with DSML if all your tools supported it.
Personally I think it would be really nice as LDIF (like iCal, vCard,
etc..) is yet-another-stupid-file-format that needs to be parsed and
diddled with. Whereas DSML, being XML, you can just use XPath / XSLT to
do/extract whatever you want. But in reality we are stuck with LDIF.
Right. I like LDIF because it is easy to deal with when editing by hand, but
I see your point, there are libraries and tools to deal with XML, and it
should be easy to put a good dsml editor together.
