Attributes?  All the names of the mandatory and recommended attributes in 
v4 are pure ascii so I don't see where all the stringprep stuff would have
any applicability at all.  I guess there is no absolute guarantee that 
would stay true in future minor versions but that's a really good bet.

Or are you talking about named attributes?  These are essentially filenames
in a special directory so if stringprep isn't good for filenames then
why would it be good for named attributes?
