Re: [ldapext] UTF-8 full support in LDIF / LDIF v2

[Kurt Zeilenga <Kurt.Zeilenga@Isode.com>]

After thinking about this some more I've come to the conclusion that  
the best one could do with UTF-8 and LDIF is to allow the value to  
contain any (but a few) code points.  The file might not be always  
well-formed text, and hence may not always be displayable.  I do not  
think it feasible to create an LDIF representing arbitrary Unicode  
attribute values using a off-the-shelf Unicode-aware text editor.  For  
instance, you could have one value that requires composed characters  
but the editor only produces decomposed characters, or vice versa.

I note my intent is not to discourage you from putting a draft  
together.  I'm just concerned that the result might not adequately  
address the issue of concern.  I suggest you be try to describe the  
problem you are trying to solve in the I-D.

Regards, Kurt
