I agree - this is still a problem for pd~, which uses FUDI.  I've been thinking
for years about making a binary form of FUDI:

f <4 byte float>
s <zero-terminated character string>
;
,

One thing I keep wondering is how, in netsend/netreceive, to name this so that
it won't get confused with raw binary.  Maybe it justneeds a name (BUDI?)
