This is the key sentence.... Steve, many companies have ASN.1 object
identifiers, this compares with hundreds of thousands that have Domain
names, to map ASN.1 object identifiers into resolver names would be a task
with a size of hte same order as recreating DNS!

If we want to continue this discussion any further I strongly suggest
moving it to teh list (uri@bunyip.com).
