I've perceived it as a general convention.

BTW, thinking about it, I'm not sure why this discussion acme up at
all.  Certificates are often stored as attributes of a record (eh,
terminology isn't a strength of mine, so if "record" isn't the proper
term, please pardon me), at least in the directories that I've viewed,
and the LDAP DN isn't necesserely the same (obviously, it's at least
inversed :-)).

So I wonder, what exactly is the problem here?  Do the OpenCA folks
want the LDAP DN and the X.509 DN in their certificates to have an
exact match?
