The name will be 7-bit ASCII, however, I cannot

believe CC requires this, our user's do.
Some UNIX audit systems provide mechanism
for (potentially) binary audit data that uses the
hex of the data. Not used when the data is known
to be well behaved text, of course.
name=0x001122BEEF
ugly as it might be, it's character set
independent and always safe.
