After a quick glance at the code, it doesn't look like this is  
currently possible.  The binary data will need to be encoded before it  
is sent over jsonrpc, but the _turba_import method doesn't currently  
check for this and decode it. We'll have to add support for encoded  
binary data to the import method, and a way to hint at what the  
encoding type is. How to do that in a BC way though?
