Re: zero-len RDNs

Actually Directory String syntax is specified in X.520 Section 2:

5 Definition of selected attribute types

DirectoryString { INTEGER : maxSize } ::= CHOICE {
    teletexString        TeletexString (SIZE(1..maxSize)),
    printableString      PrintableString (SIZE(1..maxSize)),
    universalString      UniversalString (SIZE(1..maxSize)) }

which indicates that the attribute has a minimum length of 1 character.
