An X.509 cert may contain several CN= components,
although this is much less common that multiple OU= components.

My own server endpoint identification code (including the original
string-representation-based) has always been checking all CN=
components of a DName and no matter where within the dinstinguished
name they are, but I noticed that Firefox and IE seem to check
only one of them.
