We see another potential issue with the proposed PRIVATE option. Rob's current 
proposal would have us replace a domain label with the literal string 
"<PRIVATE>" (without the quotes). However, we try to encode DN components as 
PrintableString where possible, and angle brackets are not part of the 
PrintableString set (the lowercase letters 'a' through 'z', uppercase letters 
'A' through 'Z', the digits '0' through '9', eleven special characters ' = ( ) 
+ , - . / : ? and space).

As a result, the type of the DN component would be PrintableString in the real 
cert but utf8String in the pre-certificate, and that would cause problems. I 
suggest using parentheses instead of angle brackets.
