Whether the ability to store junk byte strings is a good idea, given all the bugs you get trying to later stringify them together with unicode, is another question. Escaping http headers and other such random inputs to a sanitised form before storing them is less likely to cause problems later, and with a sensible scheme it's always possible to derive the original bytes.
