transcoded as they are Unicode-based strings (in the case of
bmpString, a subset of Unicode).

NOTE - The previous steps ensure that the string cannot contain any
code points in the separator class, other than SPACE (U+0020).
- If the input string consists entirely of spaces or is empty, the
- output is a string consisting of exactly one space (e.g. " ").

+ the string is modified such that the string starts with exactly one
+ space character, ends with exactly one SPACE character, and that any
+ inner (non-empty) sequence of space characters is replaced with
+ exactly two SPACE characters. For instance, the input strings
+ "foo<SPACE>bar<SPACE><SPACE>", results in the output
+ "<SPACE>foo<SPACE><SPACE>bar<SPACE>".
- Otherwise, the following spaces are removed:
- - leading spaces (i.e. those preceding the first character that is
- not a space);
- - trailing spaces (i.e. those following the last character that is
- not a space);
- - multiple consecutive spaces (these are taken as equivalent to a
- single space character).
+ Otherwise, if the string being prepared is an initial, any, or final
+ substring, then the output string is exactly one SPACE character, else
+ the output string is exactly two SPACEs.
- For example, removal of spaces from the Form KC string:

- would result in the output string:

- This appendix defines an algorithm for transcoding [T.61] characters
- to [Unicode] characters for use in string preparation for LDAP
- matching rules. This appendix is normative.
- The transcoding algorithm is derived from the T.61-8bit definition
- provided in [RFC1345]. With a few exceptions, the T.61 character
- codes from x00 to x7f are equivalent to the corresponding [Unicode]
- code points, and their values are left unchanged by this algorithm.
- E.g. the T.61 code x20 is identical to (U+0020). The exceptions are
- for these T.61 codes that are undefined: x23, x24, x5c, x5e, x60, x7b,
- x7d, and x7e.
- The codes from x80 to x9f are also equivalent to the corresponding
- Unicode code points. This is specified for completeness only, as
- these codes are control characters, and will be mapped to nothing in
- the LDAP String Preparation Mapping step.

- The remaining T.61 codes are mapped below in Table A.1. Table
- positions marked "??" are undefined.
-
- Input strings containing undefined T.61 codes SHALL produce an
- Undefined matching result. For diagnostic purposes, this algorithm
- does not fail for undefined input codes. Instead, undefined codes in
- the input are mapped to the Unicode REPLACEMENT CHARACTER (U+FFFD).
- As the LDAP String Preparation Prohibit step disallows the REPLACEMENT
- CHARACTER from appearing in its output, this transcoding yields the
- desired effect.
-
- Note: RFC 1345 listed the non-spacing accent codepoints as residing in
- the range starting at (U+E000). In the current Unicode
- standard, the (U+E000) range is reserved for Private Use, and

- T.61 also defines a number of accented characters that are formed by
- combining an accent prefix followed by a base character. These
- prefixes are in the code range xc1 to xcf. If a prefix character
- appears at the end of a string, the result is undefined. Otherwise
- these sequences are mapped to Unicode by substituting the

+ In absence of substrings matching, the insignificant space handling
+ for case ignore/exact matching could be simplified. Specifically,
+ the handling could be as require all sequences of one or more spaces
+ be replaced with one space and, if string contains non-space
+ characters, removal of all all leading spaces and trailing spaces.
+
+ In the presence of substrings matching, this simplified space handling
+ this simplified space handling would lead to unexpected and
+ undesirable matching behavior. For instance:
+ 1) (CN=foo\20*\20bar) would match the CN value "foobar" but not
+ "foo<SPACE>bar" nor "foo<SPACE><SPACE>bar";
+ 2) (CN=*\20foobar\20*) would match "foobar", but (CN=*\20*foobar*\20*)
+ would not;
+ 3) (CN=foo\20*\20bar) would match "foo<SPACE>X<SPACE>bar" but not
+ "foo<SPACE><SPACE>bar".
+
+ The first case illustrates that this simplified space handling would
+ cause leading and trailing spaces in substrings of the string to be
+ regarded as insignificant. However, only leading and trailing (as
+ well as multiple consecutive spaces) of the string (as a whole) are
+ insignificant.
+
+ The second case illustrates that this simplified space handling would
+ cause sub-partitioning failures. That is, if a prepared any substring
+ matches a partition of the attribute value, then an assertion
+ constructed by subdividing that substring into multiple substrings
+ should also match.
+
+ The third case illustrates that this simplified space handling causes
+ another partitioning failure. Though both the initial or final
+ strings match different portions of "foo<SPACE>X<SPACE>bar" with
+ neither matching the X portion, they don't match a string consisting
+ of the two matched portions less the unmatched X portion.
+
+ In designing an appropriate approach for space handling for substrings
+ matching, one must study key aspects of X.500 case exact/ignore
+ matching. X.520 [X.520] says:
+ The [substrings] rule returns TRUE if there is a partitioning of
+ the attribute value (into portions) such that:
+ - the specified substrings (initial, any, final) match different
+ portions of the value in the order of the strings sequence;
+ - initial, if present, matches the first portion of the value;
+ - final, if present, matches the last portion of the value;
+ - any, if present, matches some arbitrary portion of the value.
+
+ That is, the substrings assertion (CN=foo\20*\20bar) matches the
+ attribute value "foo<SPACE><SPACE>bar" as the value can be partitioned
+ into the portions "foo<SPACE>" and "<SPACE>bar" meeting the above

+ requirements.
+
+ X.520 also says:
+ [T]he following spaces are regarded as not significant:
+ - leading spaces (i.e. those preceding the first character that is
+ not a space);
+ - trailing spaces (i.e. those following the last character that is
+ not a space);
+ - multiple consecutive spaces (these are taken as equivalent to a
+ single space character).
+
+ This statement applies to the assertion values and attribute values
+ as whole strings, and not individually to substrings of an assertion
+ value. In particular, the statements should be taken to mean that
+ if an assertion value and attribute value match without any
+ consideration to insignificant characters, then that assertion value
+ should also match any attribute value which differs only by inclusion
+ or removal of insignificant characters.
+
+ Hence, the assertion (CN=foo\20*\20bar) matches
+ "foo<SPACE><SPACE><SPACE>bar" and "foo<SPACE>bar" as these values
+ only differ from "foo<SPACE><SPACE>bar" by the inclusion or removal
+ of insignificant spaces.
+
+ Astute readers of this text will also note that there are special
+ cases where the specified space handling does not ignore spaces
+ which could be considered insignificant. For instance, the assertion
+ (CN=\20*\20*\20) does not match "<SPACE><SPACE><SPACE>"
+ (insignificant spaces present in value) nor " " (insignificant
+ spaces not present in value). However, as these cases have no
+ practical application that cannot be met by simple assertions, e.g.
+ (cn=\20), and this minor anomaly can only be fully addressed by a
+ preparation algorithm to be used in conjunction with
+ character-by-character partitioning and matching, the anomaly is
+ considered acceptable.
