I think having just "string" in non-Unicode mode and "binary string" with Unicode on will actually be more helpful to people who have to live in both environments. If I see "binary string" all over, I'll KNOW I'm running Unicode and might need to do something different. Also, all the error messages posted all over the Internet for search engines to find will be distinguishable, to some degree, by the presence or lack of "binary " in the text, which can help narrow down the morass of data available.
