SUMMARY
Fixes #5704.
This contains a breaking change: it force-converts all output to UTF-8. That's why I don't want to backport this (as a bugfix).
It also allows to specify a list of attributes whose values will be Base64 encoded. This should be used if a caller actually relies on some binary values.
