Stephen,

This is obviously the correct answer.

The real challenge will be determining how to map redaction info to
the DN, given that DN is a SEQUENCE OF(SET OF(Attribute)) and that SET
is unordered.  I'm thinking the right answer is to borrow ASN.1
Distinguished Encoding Rules to set the order of SET when a SET has
more than one commonName attribute, as I think the most common state.

Thanks,
Peter
