Tom,
DNs do exist independent of encoding. The DER, including the
complex ones that apply to RDNs that consist of multiple AVAs, are
needed to uniquely encode a DN when the DN is to be signed, e.g., in a
certificate. However, as you guessed, DNs exist independent of any
encoding and thus can be created without having to apply any encoding
rules in the DN generation process.
