The reason why dc naming is popular on the Internet is that
it doesn't require additional registration of the naming
components (necessary if your directory is to interoperate
in a non-private context).

You have two choices for naming objects within existing
global contexts:
	1) Obtain a registered organizational name from the
	X.500 authority for your geographical area.

	2) Use dc naming derived from your registered domain
	name.
