This sounds like a good idea, but the name "binary" is horribly overloaded and misused in LDAP. Can you think of a better name? Is something like "non-utf8" better? You're also assuming that the received values will be UTF-8, which is not correct if you're talking to an LDAPv2 server. Cheers, Chris
