I think it is going to very hard to change implementations of X.400.
They tend to vary in the way O/R-names are entered - some use a
directory functions or aliases and some require the full string to
be entered.

I am afraid you are too late if you want to change that - all we
can do is to make sure the users have a commonly understandable
format and then let the implementers document the mapping (or
perhaps, provide the option of using both a standard representation
and their own?).

                                             ....Erik.
