the issue is about global naming. You used a globally unique email address in the certificate when you posed the question, so I said yes. If on the other hand you had just put Brett in the cert then of course I would not expect this to always name the same person.
But how can you believe that brett@isp.com is globally unique over time when companies like Verisign will resell "isp.com" almost immediately when it becomes available? BC
