the discussion was about 8 bit characters.  admittedly, nul is
part of the set of 8 bit characters, but it was never part of
the discussion.  the plan 9 utf encoding will never send a nul
as a multi-byte sequence.

anyway, we're talking about text messages.  as i have told
numerous people (but not in this group): the M in SMTP means
mail, the F in FTP means file.  grafting generalised file
transfer onto 821/822 was a heinous error.
