No, unfortunately there is disparity between mod_ssl and OpenSSL here.
(I don't know why; I think historically the short name mappings were not
unique in OpenSSL possibly, something like that)
OpenSSL uses "UID" for NID_userId (OID mapping an exercise for the
reader, see obj_mac.h in OpenSSL ;). So in fact that's the tag used for
that RDN.

It does indeed map to that OID... wrong in what sense?
