   X.{4,5}00 names for people & mailboxes have (at least) the following attributes:

   Country				/C=../
   Administrative Domain		/ADMD=.../
   Primary Domain			/PRMD=.../
   Organization			/O=.../
   Organizational Unit		/OU=.../
   Surname				/S=.../
   Given Name			/G=.../
   Common Name			/CN=.../


Are these attributes required of every X.[45]00 people and mailbox
names, or are they specific to the naming convention chosen by the
NYSERNet White Pages Project (and possibly others)?
