Market forces will tell.

Who would you register the vertiual ADMD with? Aka - what international 
registration body is there that Country ADMD providers recognize and will 
accept?  To my knowledge there is not a recognized authority for registering 
vertual ADMD names. ADMD values by their very definition are Country specific.

ISO 3166 rules the roost on C= values. Not that they dictate what can go 
there, simpley that ADMD's generally (read darn near all), require the C= 
value to be a recognized 3166 code. There as been a lot of discussion about 
a C=WW value providing a virtual Country Code, but it seem unlikely that 
this will happen unless non-country affiliated organizations stand up to ISO 
and push it.

Takers...? (he says hopefully...:-)
