What will PEM use for e-mail address <-> DN mapping?  I would think
something like this should be sufficiant

      RFC822 address                  Distinguished Name

      huntting(_at_)advtech(_dot_)uswest(_dot_)com     o=Internet

Nope.  Should be c=Internet

                                      domainComponent=COM
                                      domainComponent=USWEST
                                      domainComponent=ADVTECH
                                      commonName=huntting

The only problem I see with this is that "commonName" is a case
insensitive attribute type.  If this is a problem, we could simply
define a new OID "rfc822LocalPart" which takes a case sensitive
string.
