Erik,
On a related subject (blossoming of white pages) you may want to take a look
at the SOLO draft (draft-huitema-solo-00.txt in your favorite drafts server).
Alain Zahm and Ascan Woermann worked hard to be sure that the SOLO spec was
enough X.500 compatible to support almost everything they do with X.500 now;
Paul Andre' Pays designed the URL interface and inserted a SOLO client in his
mosaic interface, and I contributed a protocol that can be implemented with
fairly minimal resources.
A prototype of solo can be found in:
ftp:://zenon.inria.fr/rodeo/solo/solo.tar.Z
A test server is running on <mitsou.inria.fr:8888>.
A test index server to which you can "signal" your bases is running on
<pax.inria.fr:8888>.
Example of SOLO dialogues:
$ telnet pax.inria.fr 8888
Trying 138.96.24.86 ...
Connected to pax.inria.fr.
Escape character is '^]'.
SOLO <huitema, sophia, inria, fr>? Email, Phone, Fax;
301 Suggested-server: <"sophia","inria","fr"> mitsou.inria.fr

Indeed, this is a bit sketchy. But it should not grow too much...
