I like that idea as well.
I'll get them all in the design guide.
Thanks,

Good idea Emmanuel. Permit me to extend on this a bit ...
Perhaps instead of getting really long OIDs you can use instead compute
a hashCode from the suffix and just concat that as the
least significant OID term. For example:
1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.0.4.X.2.org.tuscany.das.ldap.config.DASConfig.baseDN
Can be the following valid OID if the hashCode for
org.tuscany.das.ldap.config.DASConfig.baseDN is 123456:
1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.0.4.X.2.123456
WDYT?

I think using ascii values is a great idea.
I'll stick it in the design guide.
