What's the rationale for not including the trailing zero byte in the
protocol representation of the text format?  The output functions of data
types generate one, and the client most likely wants one, so it seems
unreasonable that the protocol cuts it out and the client has to put it
back.  Is the bandwidth saved worth the extra computation?
