I think that is unncessecarely ridgid.  Most user interfaces that I know
of can handle any order - at least the ones that use keywords.

I am concerned about the ridgid ordering for another reason: compatability
with the Directory Name.  The Directory name would look quite similar,
but i would find it most natural to specify that using the country name
first.

The keyword approach I can fully agree with.  It is more intuitive (or at
least as close to that as an X.400 O/R-anme can be) and quite easy to
use.  I just do not think you need to specify the ordering.

                                                 ....Erik.
