I suppose you mean to return the same http-tuples but with binaries 
instead of lists for the string values.
One problem here is backward compatibility (again). At least Yaws is 
already using the combination [binary,{packet,http}]. We could of course 
argue our right to change an undocumented feature, but is it worth it? 
Maybe a new {packet, http_bin} is a future solution even though using 
the binary option could be more elegant.
