Certificate lpszSubjectInfo format

Subject:Certificate lpszSubjectInfo format

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.
