Canoniclizing out of EncodeforLdap or EncodeForDN if contains specific characters like "(, ) #" etc. messes up the input.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
I can do EncodeForLdap and EncodeForDN however the output when passed through 
canonicalize, is garbage. 

Try using test string - "Hi (This) ="
Here "(" is converted to \28 on encoding. On decoding it gets converted to 
Character 2 which is stx i.e. nothing.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Input string before encoding should be returned

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.0.1

Does this issue affect only a specified browser or set of browsers?
all browsers

Please provide any additional information below.

Same is happening for encodeForCSS -

Input String - !@$%()=+{}[]
Encoded String - \21 \40 \24 \25 \28 \29 \3d \2b \7b \7d \5b \5d
When used Canonicalize -      8 9 d b b d b d 
This clearly is an error.

Is there any way we can know when this issue will be resolved.
