Perhaps. The original post in this thread was complaining about a plain 
attribute value as well as a certificate DN. Obviously LDAPv3 requires strings 
to be provided in UTF-8; one has to wonder if the client was performing an 
LDAPv2 Bind. If we tie string normalization behavior to the session protocol 
version, then that means we would also need to be able translate back from 
UTF-8 to T.61.

Clearly we are not going to add any support for LDAPv2 at this late date.

At this point I think all the facts and resources have been laid out. Patches 
welcome, if anyone wants to pursue it further.
