Encoding e-mail addresses as DN's: draft

Bob J. suggests using the Persona responde to get going.  That what
it's there for.  One thing though:

C=US, O=RSA Data Security, Inc.,
OU=Persona Certificate, 
CN="Weatherley, Rhys <rhys(_at_)fit(_dot_)qut(_dot_)edu(_dot_)au>"

This will work.  However:

In fact, you could try to outdo Peter Williams, and say 
something like

C=US, O=RSA Data Security, Inc.,
OU=Persona Certificate,
CN="CN=Rhys Weatherley, 
OU=Faculty of Information Technology,
O=Queensland University of Technology,
L=Brisbane, 
C=AU,
RM=<rhys(_at_)fit(_dot_)qut(_dot_)edu(_dot_)au>"

The Persona responder requires exactly one extra attribute, which must
be a common name, beyond the OU=Persona Certificate.  This is to
prevent people from trying to stick in organization attributes that
make it look (to unwitting users) that they work for that
organization.
