[Syslog] #3 NUL octets, #4 binary data, #8 octet-counting

Hi WG, I have received notes via private mail telling me there seem to be some existing (and eventually soon upcoming) valid use cases for binary data in syslog. I think there is no point in arguing whether that's fortunate or not. It simply looks like that's the way it is. I do not like the idea
