Thanks, Dr. Henson.

  I know those functions work because they perform
search against those "standard" objects based on
length and data fields, i.e., they don't care about sn
or ln. 

  I guess I am trying to find out, that during the
creation of X509_NAME_ENTRY, when ASN1_OBJECT is
attached, 
why the sn, ln and nid are NOT assigned values.

 I can see theoretically, it is because it avoids
duplicate those redundant entries. 
I am just curious where the missing links lie.. If you
can point me out, I'd appreciate it since I've been
sifting through the code but couldn't identify it by
myself..
