I believe rawbytes should be an optional feature.

It is a quite complex feature to implement, and many implementations may 
not want to bother. Also since lengthKind='delimited' is optional, and 
that is the primary use case for rawBytes, I think we should be consistent 
and add rawbytes to the list of optional features.
