The 9.1 example code seems to use getStringValues() without
a care in world to whether or not the values are compatible
with this method.  I think a statement of the limited
applicability of this and other String-typed value access
methods should made, something like:
	Applications should not use methods returning values
	in String form unless those values are known restricted
       to UTF-8.  Applications should not assume an attribute,
	regardless of its syntax, is returned in string form
	as the server is free to return any attribute using
       ;binary transfer.

BTW, what's the behavior of getStringValues() if the character
is not UTF-8?
