Zhang,

I use 'st' for the two letter state code.  According to this site many
other people do also.

http://www.educause.edu/Elements/Attachments/netatedu/pki/eduperson/internet2-mace-dir-eduOrg-200210.htm

"State or province name.

According to RFC 2256, “This attribute contains the full name of a
state or province (stateOrProvinceName).”

While RFC 2256 specifies use of the “full name,” it is customary to
use the U.S. Postal Service set of two-letter state name abbreviations
for states in the U.S."

Thanks for the humour: well I actually was looking for
"shortStateOrProvinceName" attribute, if it has been defined by any
standard or recommendation. Otherwise I'd define my own
"myCompanyShortOrProvinceName".
