Well, is that a reason for all the ad-hoc formats? We could pass paths as byte arrays. In reality, most software will have issues with non-UTF8-friendly things anyway, because they may want to display it. It's nice that open(2) does not complain but it's pretty rubbish if no application can ever display that thing without "here are some bytes".
