Noted.

I note that the requirement is applied by applications on input
to the directory.  To the directory service, they are still
octets strings matched octet-wise.

All the input was enough to gain a good sense of WG consensus
and to suggest courses of action for the WG to consider.
We'll have to wait a few days to see whether we really
have consensus or not.
