Hi all,

This might not be the right place to ask but I was just wondering if
you are aware that LDIF have been known as LDAP Database Interchange
Format [1] files for years.
As both (LDAP files and your project) are somehow related to data, not
in the same way at all but still it's not as much differences as it is
between cooking and programming (even if sometimes...), this is why I
think it might lead to confusion and not serve your project visibility
(specially when doing searches on the Web).

Paradoxically, one could imagine that, thanks to the semantic web, we
won't have to bother about this exact kind of things in 10 years from
now, but now is now and I believe it's always a good thing not to
overlap with already well know names, extensions, software, libs and
so on... when it could be avoided.

Just my 2¢, when I have sometime to spare, I'll definitely play with
you LDIF thingy :)
Best regards, keep up the good work!
