Oh, there are quite a number of people in the DFN (the German academic
network community) that believe, that a PRMD=dfn and a O=university XY
would have been a MUCH better approach. Today, we have a ADMD of a
PTT (dbp) although the X.400 net of DFN is not connected to the
X.400 Telebox system of dbp. It's really a bad system they've selected
here. You can't determine from a C=de ORAddress, whether it is located
in the DFN net or in the X.400 Telebox. This causes quite a lot confusion
in the gateway world.
