Subject:	Proposal #3 corrections

The disambiguating factor for the DN in Proposal #3 was a UniqueID. 
After some of the experts looked at it in detail, we decided to use 
a different attribute called "DN Qualifier" whose X.500 definition 
is: "The DN Qualifier attribute type specifies disambiguating 
information to add to the relative distinguished name of an entry. 
It is intended to be used for entries held in multiple DSAs which 
would otherwise have the same name, and that its value be the same 
in a given DSA for all entries to which this information has been 
added."  So it fits perfectly for the intended purpose.

Also, it was not very clear, but using the NPI or PayerID in the 
DN, although possible, would not serve as disambiguating for 
providers/payers that have more than one cert.  So, if the NPI, 
UPIN, PayerID, EIN, etc. are to be listed in the cert, they will 
not be part of the DN, but will be part of the cert and/or the 
directory entry.  The disambiguating DN Qualifier must be capable 
of distinguishing that certificate from other certificates held by 
the same subject.

Please make these corrections in Proposal #3
