All,

	If so, it may be that state level registration might
	be less expensive (but it also doesn't exist yet because there aren't
	any state administrations that I know about that have the faintest
	idea they might have a role in X.500 or X.400 or PEM or...).

I'm curious what possible value having an OID assignment
at a state level could possibly be.  I am assuming this would
mean that the same OID could be assigned in another state?
But with these electronic gizmos we all use, crossing borders
is very little problem.  Given that OID's at a state level
seem pretty useless.
