[glue-wg] Strings

[stephen.burke at stfc.ac.uk]

Hi,

A point just came up about the representation of strings. In the GLUE 2
specification it seems we have no definition of the "string" type, which
looks like an oversight (other than an implication in the placeholder
section that strings may be UTF-8). In the GLUE 2 LDAP schema as
currently implemented for EGEE, strings seem to be typed as IA5String as
they were in glue 1, which is basically 7-bit ascii so special
characters are not allowed. Should we be allowing UTF-8 strings?
