Perhaps I mis-understand the nature of the discussion, but to calm
a few fears I have, could people discussing o=Internet please show
me how Internet-registered people lying under the 2-letter countrycode
forms of name will exist in the DIT. 

Do you really intend to register "me" under my Internet domain name as:

	@o=Internet@c=AU@o=UQ@ou=CC@cn=George Michaelson

Because I can forsee a LOT of problems with making user-agents, let alone
people work out that ggm@cc.uq.oz.au is not matched under the @c=AU rooted
tree. (since I have a "real" X.500 reggo, this is a bad example, but consider
somebody who gets a valid DNS name and IP space from the NIC, but chooses
not to come to the c=AU rooted admin to register their domain-name, eg a
multi-national with several class-B network numbers, each rooted by name under
a given country. Is this an impossible scenario?

Either there has to be a huge amount of back-pointing into the country-rooted
tree, or else Internet registration means something else than I understand.

	confused,
