See subject "alternate "dc" naming conventions".
The Grid community is very close to this and some
similar variations, if it hasn't happened already.
I think it is very likely something like
cn=host.lab.org,dc=lab,dc=org,o=grid or
cn=host.lab.org,dc=lab,dc=org,o=grid,c=us  & other variants
will be in common use.

It's not clear ... it may still be early enough in the policy
development period to fix this in the Grid.
