I was tempted to using tags for some attributes to store simplified names
e.g. (This is for demonstration purposes withput the required encodings)
sn: Müller
sn;x-ascii: Mueller
which would have helped us very much in our multi-language environment.
(It is hard to key in Müller if you do not have the umlaut-u on your keyboard)
Unfortunately I found no way to get the value of the base attribute alone
(Müller in the example above) which is necessary for displaying the name
correctly.
Querying for sn I always got the two values back without any possibility
to distinguish which value beongs to the bae attribute.
I don't know If I did something wrong and
IMHO an extension for the standard is necessary that allows to return only the
base attribute.
Maybe an empty tagged option (for the example above: "sn;" ) can do the trick
to search for / return only the values of the base attribute.
(I did not test if this already works, it is jast an idea that came to my mind
while writing this mssage)
