Mandating the attributes for Distinguished names is probably a good idea.
However, if you compare your result:
	<CN=Paul-Andre Pays, O=Inria, C=FR>
with the RARE standard for ORName notation:
	<S=Pays; O=INRIA; PRMD=INRIA; ADMD=ATLAS; C=FR;>
then one really wonders why you stick to the comma and dont adopt the
semi-colon! The potential for confusion is enormous here, specially if one
uses the notation for 88 ORNames...
