OCTET STRINGs are not strings in this sence. (They ought perhaps to be called something like OCTET SEQUENCES). What if you include in your GRS-1 record a JPEG image as an OCTET STRING? What would it mean for that to be subject to negotation? Surely InternationalString should be used everywhere that the idea of character-set negotation makes any sense. _/|_ _______________________________________________________________ /o ) \/ Mike Taylor <mike@miketaylor.org.uk> www.miketaylor.org.uk )_v__/\ "Sharing of software is as old as computers, just as sharing of recipes is as old as cooking" - Richard Stallman.
