> The Entry spec needs to define when two entries are equal (since the correct answer is not what the .equals method yields).  This definition then needs to be referenced or replicated in the Lookup Service spec, in section 2.2 where it talks about eliminating "exact duplicates". What is needed is a definition of what it means for two fields to be "exact duplicates," by which he means that the fields have exactly the same serialized forms *not* ignoring null fields -- if a field is null in one entry it must be null in the other for them to be "exact duplicates".  This wording should go into the Entry spec.
