Just thinking about how I would document this, and I realized that IETF documents switched to talking about "octets" long ago. When an RFC says
"characters" it almost always means orthographic characters in some
encoding that may not map 1-1 from characters - octets.

Proposal for current docs =~ s/bytes/octets/g


        Good call, but I don't think it would've prevented my mistake.  :)
