X509SubjectName and binary values

Hi all,

Question:

If a Unicode, non-ASCII character occurs in a X509SubjectName, do we have 
to encode it according to RFC2253 as \5473 sequence or is it a &x5473; XML 
character? (In the spec was stated: "Consider the string as consisting of 
unicode characters." (Maybe 5473 was a bad example, don't know whether is 
is unicode, just to show a value)

2nd question:

If a binary value like
   1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.0=#04024869,O=Test,C=GB
occurs in the SubjectName, do I have to escape it like
   1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.0=\#04024869,O=Test,C=GB
which is _not_ RFC2253 compliant?
