There were a few minor* practical issues in getting agreement on how such a type would actually behave. Instead, the approach WSGI adopted (or the stricter, 7-bit ASCII only approach used internally by urllib.parse to handle bytes in 3.2) was deemed sufficient, since it could be done right now without having to agree on how many different bikesheds were needed and what colours they should all be.
