Hi Dirk!

I think the approach you suggest here does not solve the problem. The idea is 
to have a nice contact database (or whatever data you like) in the ZODB and 
then you want to be able to use it in Mozilla...at least that is Steve's 
motivation. HAving data in the ZODB and serve it up via LDAP is a REALLY cool 
idea.

Stephan
