[comp.protocols.iso.x400] Order of fields in business card printed O/R-address form

In my experience, users are often unsure between space,
dash or nothing between names. Thus, they find it difficult
to remember if the name of a person is "Sven Eric" or
"Sven-Eric" or "Sveneric".

A good name matchning algorithm should thus be able to
match these variants against each other.

I would not regard it as non-X.400-conformant to have such
intelligent name-matching in a system, even if X.400 does
not specify equality between names in these three cases.
