Given that json is a wire protocol, that sounds like the right approach
for json as well. Once bytes-everywhere works, then a text API can be
built on top of it, but it is difficult to build a bytes API on top of a
text one.

So I guess the IO library *is* the right model: bytes at the bottom of
the stack, with text as a wrapper around it (mediated by codecs).

Cheers,
Nick.
