Must be nul terminated and > contain no other nul bytes. >> Using unencoded SDATA would be wrong with eight-bit characters (aka >> raw bytes). I'd suggest to encode, to be on the safe side. Since the spec says "must be valid UTF-8", I think that SDATA(object) might even be better than encoding to utf-8 since encoding to utf-8 will turn eight-bit-byte chars into raw bytes which will likely not make a valid utf-8 output.
