I don't agree that there is a significant difference between those wordings in this context. The end result is the same: Things intended to be handled/seen as textual should be unicode strings, things intended for data exchange should be byte strings.
I don't think this distinction is meaningful at all. In the end, everything is a byte string on a classical computer (including unicode strings displayed on your monitor, obviously). If you think the technicalities of an operation should never be hidden or abstracted away, then you're better off with C than Python ;-) Regards Antoine.
