Indeed, with the PEP, the raw layer does remain readily available. If you know that it was originally bytes, you can get the very same bytes back if you want to. However, for disks mounted across OSes, you won't have to, normally. If you think there is a problem with these, can you please describe a specific scenario? What application, what file names, what encodings, what problems?
