Re: Attribute Ordering

 2) Attributes must be ordered by tag value.

No...  AVAs have no ordering within a RDN.

Uummmm.  Could you state the basis for your terse remark.

Yes, an RDN is a SET OF AVA's, and hence, there is no ordering.

However, Tom's talking in the context of the DISTINGUISHED ENCODING
RULES, one of which states that "the components of a Set type shall be
encoded in ascending order of their tag value".
