Hi there,

I was wondering if you could add a field with the raw bytes of the IPTCRecord, 
such as :
        public final byte[] data;  or with a getter().

Because when the IPTCParser creates each IPTCRecord, it assumes the record is 
using the ISO-8859-1 charset, which of course is not always the case.

It would be nice to perform some automatic charset detection in there too.

But having access to the raw bytes can be usefull anyway, if for some reason 
the record is not a string.

Thanks already!
