At the moment I would not introduce other output formats than LDIF. The usefulness of hex-dumps in comparison to base64-encoded data is debatable.
Agreed.
The only thing I could imagine without making ldapsearch schema-aware is a command-line option defining which attributes to output as UTF-8. If the user specifies jpegPhoto for that he's on his own if the raw binary output messes up the terminal.
Perhaps an ldap.conf option as well. It essentially becomes a half-baked schema for the client side.
