There could be valid reasons in the future to strip white spaces in LDAP requests in a normalization step. So asking for the confirmation that this behaviour will remain in the future is not imprecise or false at all.

In that case, since we cannot make any predictions about the future, the smart thing to do is to make no assumptions whatsoever about what the server will preserve or strip. Treat all values as unformatted data and reformat it in your client whenever presenting to a user.
Did you read the thread?
