I think the solution space is perhaps too wide at the moment to focus this working group on NFS naming. No doubt NFS files will be located by multiple naming systems (NIS, NIS+, XFN, NDS, ...) as well as LDAP and different schemas will exist for them all. My own preference is that we follow the lead of WWW naming using URLs to locate files on servers and URNs for higher-level, location independent naming or even the use of the Service Location Protocol to locate collections of files.
