[sidr] OpenCA info



I checked with Max Pala, and he confirmed that the OpenCA software (an open source CA package) is also capable of generating a Subject or Issuer name that is just a single set consisting of a common name attribute and the serial number attribute.

with this info I think we are safe to proceed to mandate this name format. I agree with Russ' observation that this is not a common format and that it might confuse a user viewing it. However, since these names are not intended to be human meaningful, and will not be popping in in a browser or an S/MIME message, I don't think this is a serious concern.
