Can I assume that any data returned when I access the DN of a peer's

No, see Howards posts.
If not, how do I tell
the difference?
I think I understand that DNs not encoded as UTF8String should not
have high-bit characters in them -- so if I do this:
X509_NAME_oneline(X509_get_subject_name(peer), buf, BUFSIZ), suffix)
What about X509_NAME_print_ex ?
You may check different outputs with "openssl x509 ... -nameopt [flags]" .
I should be able to tell any application using the data that the
character set for the data is UTF8, or, if I don't find any Unicode
sequences in it, ASCII. Is that right? I don't see a way to find
out what ASN.1 type X509_get_subject_name actually fetched the data
from...
