To throw out a real-world example: I'm working on CASSANDRA-2878 ("Allow CQL-based map/reduce") and it simplifies things to have the "output" from a query (CqlRow/Column, which are binary) the same as the input parameters [for the resultset KEY > X paging]. Otherwise I have to convert it to string for the PS, so that the server can convert it back to binary.
