i would agree that in general the core gconf people need to make that
decision.

I did just see an acap doc that compared it to a bunch of existing
protocols.... and ldap was included.  There was a bunch of overlap, but
their primary beef with ldap was that it's all administrator setup, so
clients can't really add/modify data, which is obviously important for the
applications i was talking about.  Do a search for acap-vs-others.html and
you should find that document....
