The Internet certainly does have usage which involves source routing, like
this, but it is generally acknowledged to be a deficient mode and folks try
pretty hard to move in the direction of not needing it.
(Gee, this is even MORE on the topic for pem-dev, isn't it?)
Actually, it *is* getting back to the topic. There's an important
human factors lesson here - if a computer professional is having
trouble specifying his X.400 address in a replyable form, we probably need
to look carefully at the choice of X.500 names (which are similar and
related in a not-quite-obvious way) in certificates. This could be
a Help Desk nightmare - if people don't know their own addresses, how
are they going to be sure they signed things with the right certificate? ;)
