short names (descriptors) proposal
A number of interoperability problems have been raised regarding
the use of non-unique short names.
I suggest replacing the existing [Models, Section 6.2] text with:
Short names (descriptors) used to identify various schema elements
SHOULD be registered unless in private-use name space (e.g.,
"x-"). Names used to identify elements defined in RFCs MUST be
registered.
Procedures for registering short names are detailed in BCP 64
[RFC3383].
With this change, I believe it reasonable to then update
the DN string specification to support use of any properly
registered name.
Comments?
