The organizationIdentifier attribute would become very used in the very recent future, for PKIs implementation in Europe. Qualified CA would use thtat attribute for legal person certificate. In the ETSI documents, it would be something like organizationName, but different from it. Teoretically would be something of more distinctive for the organization, i.e. the VAT number with the county code. By this, I think it could not be such an internal definition for a company.
I don't want to sound rude but my impression is that this will lead to yet another attribute with undefined semantics. BTDT.
(Hint: E.g. not every company (legal person) has a EU VAT number.)
Ciao, Michael.
