Re: List of illegal characters in DN

[Raf Meeusen <meeusen@acunia.com>]

RFC2253, UTF-8 representation of a DN should be good starting point.  
Normally, all characters can be taken, except for a small set of 
predefined escaping characters ( / , ; < > ...), and than still, you can 
use those when you escape them during input/output...

For easy searching/adding/modifying however, I wouldn't try to add too 
exotic characters.
