Just a short question here: What is the character encoding of the protocol strings? I realize that the spec only talks about bytes, but implementations expose it as strings for convenience and therefor need to convert the values. Apparently both the Go implementation and the JS implementation treat it as UTF-8, if I deciphered their code correctly. So is it really UTF-8 or is it ASCII, but using a UTF-8 conversion function was just more convenient?
Not a biggy, but this should be specified nonetheless.
