It would be nice if we could read things like this more often on the net. I think it's a good idea to include a standard for writing O/R addresses in the X.400 familie. Are there also plans to do this for directory names? Just two things, I missed in the draft: - As the addresses are quite long, it will often be neccessary to split them in two lines (eg on small business cards). Where should the address be splitted? Only after semicolons seems preferebly to me. - Should there be a space after each ';'? The examples show this, but there is no note about it. May be, the printed documents won't show this as clear as the ascii text. I personally don't like the spaces very much as they again make the address longer. But they should be used if there are any spaces in attribute values.
