So, I need an alternative, preferably 7-bit, serialization for AMP boxes.

I should point out that at least one WebSockets JavaScript thing, noVNC, uses
base64 as its solution to the problem, and that's what I originally wrote txWS
to deal with. This works quite fine for OSUOSL on all of the target browsers
we care about.

I don't know if this is the *right* solution, but it certainly is the least
painful.
