For better or for worse the Rust implementation requires the underlying buffer
is UTF-8 including null slots, as this allows returning the buffer as a native
string type, which in turn allows kernels to use Rust's native string
functionality. Whilst I agree the specification is ambiguous on this

More an observation than an issue, but UTF-8 validation for StringArray can be
done very efficiently by first verifying the entire buffer, and then verifying
the offsets correspond to the start of a UTF-8 codepoint.
Caveat: null slots
