text_raw it the DNS record in raw form. Its not a c-string, but rather a
sequence of pascal-like strings. See the DNS-SD RFC for the details. For
the case of e.g. a c++ binding, consider it an opaque memory area with
length given in bytes. 

If you want the text record parsed, use the "text" hashtable.

Most other strings in the API are UTF-8 though (the DNS-SD RFC defines
them as such), except type, which needs to be one of the registered
types on http://www.dns-sd.org/ServiceTypes.html.
