chk> X.500 uses the '/' convention, while RFC 2253 uses the ',' convention.

About X.500, that seems to be incorrect.  I just looked through X.501
(which describes the directory models), and the few examples that
exist in chapter 9 (Names) and Annex H (Name Design Criteria) indicate
that the RDNs should be separated by ',' rather than prefixed with
'/'.

IIRC, the '/' convention is from X.400 addresses.  Why it's used in
OpenSSL (as a renmant from SSLeay) is beyond me.
