X.500 permits attribute value assertions (AVA) of all attribute types. If the attribute type is "Distinguished Name" then the AVA is recursive (since DNs are sequences of RDNs which are sequences of AVAs). Can someone from NIST advise me whether the support of recursive DNs is mandatory under the 1989 agreement (we have the 1988 version which does not address this issue). Can anyone think of a real-world application for a recursive DN?
