One of the reasons that I see that some "USERS", i.e. relying parties
want that, is that it is a bit difficult to get the subject altname
email in a CGI under apache, whilst the DN attribute is simply
in an environment variable.

What happens when you add multiple emails, is
either as subject altname or multiple occurence of
the email attribute, .well, that's anoher story

This is the real problem. We have users which use this functionality to get all email addresses from a certificate and yes some are in the subject and some are in the subject alt name. Until now nobody tried to use mail instead of emailAddress but it is possible and the most directories implemented mail because it is in inetOrgPerson.
