☜	OMI - Characters Draft MDC Standard					☞

5 Message form and content
5.1 Characters

OMI messages consist of 8-bit bytes (octets). No characters have special meaning to the protocol, thus the bytes may assume any value from 0 to 255. Although negotiations between the agent and server may limit the range of valid characters in particular fields, the underlying circuit shall transport all 8-bit bytes. See 4.4 for more about character sets.
