And if it was simply:
O=Internet, OU=com, OU=gte, CN=jueneman(p)wotan
Then it would easily reversable too.
True. I was mainly trying to be nice by pulling out the country name
in all the non-US cases, and wanted to be consistent with the handling of
the US domains as well. An equally reversible mapping would be obtained
by using "C=??, O=Internet" for all 2 letter top level domain names
(including "us") and just "O=Internet" for the others.
Also, maybe the domainComponent attribute that Christian mentioned
should be used instead of OU. I was aware of that work, but since it is
labelled "pilot" I thought it only had experimental status and was
hesitant to make use of it. I'm easy on this point: others can debate
which is the best OID to use.
If the WG wants me to write this up more formally as a draft (or if
someone else wants to do it) then just holler.
