To nit-pick (this is emacs-devel, after all): "Byte array" isn't very
meaningful, either.  The standards talk about octet streams.  :-)

But you're right, of course: This function has a string-based interface,
which is pretty meaningless, since no protocols (well, extremely few)
deal with characters -- they only deal with octet streams.
