Well I decided I would be a responsible OID holder and registered the OID that Microsoft gave to me several years ago…
http://www.oid-info.com/get/1.2.840.113556.1.8000.1420
Note that Microsoft no longer gives out OIDs like that. All done. They decided they didn’t want to be in that business and there were data privacy issues. So now they have a script that takes part of the Microsoft space (1.2.840.113556.1.8000.2554) then generates a value to append from a GUID.

I guess this is ok, I still wish that they would handle this ALONG with registering prefixes so two companies with similar names don’t both use the same prefix and then run into issues if they somehow have to use each others schema additions. Barring that I guess some third party registration system could/should be set up. It kind of make something that I think is pretty important a bit to ad hoc and loosy goosy.
