Agreed!

The only change that I would like to have is a reference to possible
regional guidelines and recommendations that might be added in the future
(especially in the area of person naming).

E.g. the German DSA operators will perhaps write 

- a recommendation for general naming principles in German 
  speaking countries
- a recommendation for naming principles in German Universities and similar
  academic institutions (at the moment, most DSA manager come from
  this community).

All these recommendations will be based on OSI-DS 12, but with some
community specific additions (e.g. the Umlaut/T.61 problem, titles, 
mapping common university structures on the DIT, ...)
