RE: unsigned vs. signed...

Surely.

Text strings are char.  Whether that's signed or
unsigned is machine dependent.  But char's are
defined to be able to hold the C character set.

If you're passing around arbitrary binary buffers,
then you want unsigned because you some comipler may
sign-extend for you.

At times you have a DER buffer, you unpack, and you
know you've got a string.  Then you use a cast to
indicate this.
