Not a silly question at all. The fact that the content is set as a std::string doesn't imply that it is textual in nature. It is essentially just a sequence of bytes. So yes it is certainly possible.
For AMQP 0-10 you can set the content-type to 'text/plain' to indicate that it is textual data, and of course you could set that to some other mime-type to indicate some other binary form (e.g. image/jpeg or whatever).
In future there will be an extension to the API (already on trunk, but won't be released until 0.26), that lets you set the content as an object (a qpid::types::Variant). That allows the std::string to be associated with an encoding (utf8, ascii or binary), as well as allowing it to be a map, list, uuid or one of various numeric types.
In hindsight the API would likely have been clearer had std::vector<uint8_t> been used in place of std::string. That may be an addition that gets made at some point also.
