On this point, does the "is_binary" flag refer to a property or to the
versioned file's content? From what you say here, it sounds like it
refers to the versioned file's content. In that case, you cannot use it
to decide whether a property value is diffable. I think we have an API
for empirically determining whether a certain file or a certain text
contains non-text characters. It is used for automatically detecting
"binary" files during import/add. Maybe you could use it.
