I don't have a strong opinion on whether it should be bytes or strings
-- I'll leave that discussion for people who know more about the
details than I do.

I do think input and output should be symmetric, though. If response
headers are going to be bytes, then the request headers should be as
well, or vice versa. The same arguments apply to both, after all.
