Hmmm, I would understand that one would rather target a 93 version of
X.500. I've been playing with products implementing some of the 93
features and some of them solved problems I had when using the 88
version (not talking about the products themselves but about the
protocol(s) functions which are new in 93). 
I would not dare setting a 93 DSA for real operations (for production,
I mean), products are still a bit young but *in theory*, there are
some functionnal holes in 88 which are covered by 93. As such, I think
the limited aspects you talk about should take this into account.

Beware I heard many people talking about X.500(96) :-) :-)
