Why are the IANA OIDs not legal ?
In austria we lack an organisation which really administrates OIDs, so we use
IANA OIDs.
- Can the IANA OIDs sometime become not globally unique ?
- Have I really to persuade NORM (austrian ISO memberbody) that it have to 
  give us an OID ? (which will take quite a long time)
- Or is there any other (easier) way to get a legal OID ?
