The lower bound for directoryString is 1.

If an attribute's syntax definition allows the representation which 
consists of zero bytes, then an empty string is a legal value for that 
attribute.

I don't think X.520 has a lower bound on the number of characters in 'name'
and the Directory String syntax.
