So one thing that would be helpful to those of us working on LDAP in the browser is the ability to get access to some of the NSS functionality for the LDAP C SDK to use. LDAP in the browser consists of an XPCOM wrapper around the LDAP C SDK, which does all the connection management for us under the hood. The C SDK itself uses raw or NSPR sockets to do all the work, and I'm told that the most recent version interacts with NSS 3.2 directly. Since we want to share as much code as possible, it would be really good not to have to link the C SDK against a second copy of NSS separate from PSM. So in some ideal world, it seems like the LDAP XPCOM wrapper would be able to ask PSM for some set of raw function pointers to NSS functions which could then be passed into the LDAP C SDK for use.
