[Models] An attribute value should be equal to self

I suggest adding the following statement to section 2.2 of
[Models] (just before its last paragraph):

  Additionally, no attribute is to have a value which is not
  equivalent to itself.  For example, the 'givenName' attribute
  cannot have as a value a directory string which includes the
  REPLACEMENT CHARACTER (U+FFFD) code point as matching involving
  that directory string is Undefined per this
  attribute's equality matching rule.
