b) is what parts of ID3v2 already use (sort of; they use null chars,
which presents its own problems). It's not a great solution because not
only is it tougher to deal with with most string handling
libraries/easier to mess up, but it also makes it almost impossible for
an advanced user to edit directly.

I think a) is the way to go.
