This is accually more fun. Kerberos uses ASN.1's GeneralString (which is
mostly useless and ends up being ascii). Kerberos extentions will properly
support i18n, but that in the future and given the blazing speed of krb-wg,
it will arrive in about 1-10 years.

That said, I've tried to find out what ms sends, and that seems to
something close to ldap normalized utf8 or raw utf8.

Watch out assuming that the kerberos api is a utf8, MIT folks seems to
think its not but rather a locale specific interface, but I can't speak
form them, ask the krb-dev list for what they think.

Love
