Is used in attributes whose values are printable strings as defined in CCITT X.208. The case (upper or lower) is significant when comparing printable strings.

Two printable strings match for equality when they are the same length and their corresponding characters are identical. Case (upper or lower) is significant when comparing printable strings. For example, as printable strings, “Dundee” and “DUNDEE” do not match.
When comparing printable strings, the following spaces are not significant:
Leading spaces (precede the first printing character)
Trailing spaces (follow the last printing character)
Multiple consecutive internal spaces (equivalent to a single space character)
In matching attributes that conform to this syntax, eDirectory omits those spaces that are not significant (as defined above). eDirectory stores insignificant spaces with the attribute value.
