I would like Trading Name, but I understand that is probably not 
possible.  There is no way to link a Trading Name to a person and it's 
not a legal entity.  I'm using Australian language for things as that is 
what I understand, sorry if it makes it a little more difficult when in 
another country.

So what I was wondering was if in a server certificate I could put;

CN=www.blazeit.com.au
Organization=Russell Smith

As my Name is a legal entity, can it be used in place of an 
Organization.  Or is that out of the scope for use of Organizations in 
certificates signed by CA's?

That way server certificates can be linked to a person in the same way 
they are for personal certificates.  Server certificates could be linked 
to a person in the same way they are linked to an organization if one 
exists.

I hope that's a little clearer.
