drupal/modules/node.module contains three binary strings.  The use of
binary strings causes problems in text editors incapable of handling
such strings.


For example, I have modified this file for internal use, but when I
save the file, the binary strings get converted to question marks. 
While someone could argue that I should get a better text editor, this
issue exists for many users, not just me.  Better yet, the solution is
simple...


PHP allows representing binary characters via hex encoding.  That's
what this patch does.


Thanks.
