Mmm... That's taking risks and requires quite some testing with the
different host applications. When transferring data as strings, we know that
apps do the string to integer/date/whatever transformation. But when you
transfer them as binary, I'm afraid that they will be imported as is ie. no
transformation.

Yes, it came up when testing new the ftVariant.
