R. David Murray added the comment: See msg253287. Someone should check the RFC. It is not obvious that just encoding using utf8 is correct; fundamentally passwords are binary data. But the auth methods don't currently accept binary data. UTF8 is a reasonable default these days, I think, but if we support more than ascii I think we need to support binary, with utf8 as the default encoding.
