That's not at all clear. Why _aren't_ these protocols considered text
protocols? Why can't you add a string directly to headers?
Because text is a high-order abstraction. You don't store text in files, you don't transmit text over the wire or
through the air -- those actions are done with a lower abstraction, that of bytes.
You're framework may allow you to add a string, but under the covers it's converting to bytes -- at which point is up to
the framework.
