So being able to read/write directly in UTF-8 in the LDIF file will eliminate one step in the process ? Can you give more details ? Listing the case we have so far (please argument against if you think a case is not valid): -comparing at the file level by humans, to fix an issue for example ; this imply that the user is using a display properly setup for UTF-8 (Yves Dorfsman). -simplifying scripts to import/export data form/to other format to/from LDIF (Steven Legg. Steven). -simplifying online editors (Michael Stöder). Steven: Can you confirm this is what you were saying, otherwise reword ? Kurt: My case was the case a) in you email. In my last email I argued that 1) that case has value 2) your argument against it, not being able to display UTF-8 properly, is solved in modern environment setup for UTF-8 Michael: Can you give us more explanation of what the problem is in the case of your editor. Would it simplify programing the editor ? Is it impossible to allow UTF-8 in your editor today, and this change would allow it ? -- Yves. http://www.sollers.ca/ _______________________________________________ Ldapext mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ldapext
