Using an octet sequence for binary data is very efficient in TAO (ie no
serialization/encoding, no extra memcpy operations above what would be done
with "raw" sockets, etc).  This is great if the data is already encoded in a
platform-independent way (ie it's a jpeg image, pdf file, mpeg video, etc).
