Yes, and this has been done, just not by me. ;-) As far as other uses, I
saw how a guy was able to put Bible passages into a directory...and it
was useful, but I don't know exactly how or why at this moment. It's
been a while since I did any LDAP anything.
It's just anything you need quick access to, and you don't need to have
quick access to write to. It's just another type of database, where
reading is cheap and easy, but writing is expensive.
