Certificate lpszSubjectInfo format

[drm]

In our client aplication, I'm using InternetQueryOption to object a
INTERNET_CERTIFICATE_INFO structure after posting an ssl request. The
lpszSubjectInfo appears to have the certificate Country, State, City,
Organization etc. separated by CR/LF's. The 6th and final item is the domain.

What factors might impact the format of lpszSubjectInfo? Could a new
version of wininet, a using different webserver, using a different CA impact
what this looks like? I want to make sure we don't have to upgrade our
client if any of those things change.

The order of elemements in the structure should not be changed. If any
changes will be done, they will take place at the end of a structure, thus
old clients would not crash.
