Warwick,
With respect to the use of email names now supported in certificates, what
set of characters are permitted and what "Syntax" is used in
SubjectAltName?

Problem: X.500 naming does not map easily to e-mail names which are what PEM
needs to use as the basis of identification.
Solution: The SubjectAltName extension provides for alternative name
forms for
subjects including RFC822Name, DNSName, and PrivateName (can be any privately
registered name form). PEM can work entirely with the RFC822 name if desired,
and only use the X.500 name if it wants to make use of an X.500 directory.
