zfs code - Mar 2008 - PROP_TYPE_BINARY or base64 encode to PROP_TYPE_STRING

I never got an answer to this last time and I really need to know the 
answer to this.  I have PROP_TYPE_BINARY implemented but I think it is 
causing some issues elsewhere (it might be incomplete).

-- original question asked 2008-01-16 --

For storing the wrapped per dataset encryption keys as a (hidden)
property I have been using PROP_TYPE_STRING.  However this isn''t really
correct since they aren''t strings but binary data.

Should I a) add PROP_TYPE_BINARY - which I would likely map to
uint8_array for nvlists.

Or b) base64 encode the wrapped key and store it in PROP_TYPE_STRING
