Yes, sorry about that it was a typo. This is mentioned in RFC3280 4.1.2.4. In almost all cases the Name structure consists of RelativeDistinguishedName (RDN) structures which have a single AttributeTypeAndValue structure in each. This is the usual ',' separator. If however there is more than one AttributeTypeAndValue structure you get the '+' separating each component at the same "level". Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
