This is an odd criticism. JSON, the popular alternative, also has this 'issue'. In fact, almost any non binary solution, like protobufs, will have this issue, as it's a text, not byte, encoding. The reason for outlawing these characters is that they aren't text, they are, as the name implies, control characters.
