          [[- GUID -]]
       </ID>
       <NAME>
          [[- name -]] 
       </NAME>
       [[- address -]]
    </OBJECT>
 </DISTRIBUTIONPOINT>

[[- type -]]: MUST be the type of the DISTRIBUTIONPOINT address. For an intranet address, the type MUST be "License-Acquisition-URL". For an external address, the type MUST be "Extranet-License-Acquisition-URL". For a reference to the author of the document, the type MUST be "Referral-Info".

[[- GUID -]]: MUST be a unique GUID that identifies this DISTRIBUTIONPOINT element, represented as a literal ASCII string enclosed in braces.

[[- name -]]: MUST be a name for the object. For an object of type "Referral-Info", this element MUST contain the display name of the referral address. For other objects, this element MUST contain the literal string "DRM Server Cluster".

[[- address -]]: MUST be an ADDRESS element of type "URL" containing the URL of the server or an email address when the object type is "Referral-Info". For an intranet address, this is the internal URL of the server that issued the PL. For an extranet address, this is the external URL of the server that issued the PL using an FQDN.
