Hello! As far as I've been able to find out, the LDAP API libraries currently don't contain any functionality for decoding or encoding the RFC 4517 Postal Address syntax.
It's not a particularly complicated syntax to decode or encode, just a few characters that need to be unescaped or escaped, but it doesn't seem reasonable to me that everyone who needs to work with Postal Address entries should have to write their own implementations of this and I can't really imagine anyone thinking that it'd be a bad idea to provide library functions for this. It also seems like the LDAP APi libraries would be a logical place for such functionality (but I'd be most interested if anyone has ideas about someplace else being better). But where exactly? I find the LDAP API libraries a bit overwhelming to navigate, so it isn't immediately obvious to me where the most suiable place for putting such utility functions would be. Does anyone here have any good advice?
