Re: X.509 DN semantics

Comments?

Using DN's to index certificates only works when you can easily map
email addresses to DN's (and vice versa).  This means a persons
certificate will, in many cases be tied to their job.

The user's common name may or may not be the name
that is registered with the various civil authorities, as
in the case of a Persona certificate.

So what?  It's your right to use any name you feel like (of course what
you use it for may not be legal).  What's your point here?
