  FYI:  RFC 8044 defines "text" as "UTF-8 data", and "string" as "opaque data"

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8044#section-3.4

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8044#section-3.5

  This errata corrects what appears to be an error when RFC 8044 was published.  That document contained updates for the full IANA registry in the I-D, which was removed before the RFC was published:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-radext-datatypes-08

  Look for "DS-Lite" and see it's "text".
