My interpretation is this:  BytesWidget will accept any byte in the
range 0x00 - 0xFF whereas the ASCIIWidget is intended to only accept
bytes in the range 0x20 - 0x7E and 0x09.  In other words I expect that
the ASCIIWidget will accept only printable characters from the ASCII
character set (IOW "text") but the BytesWidget will accept a sequence
of any arbitrary 8-bit value.
