Is there some method to convert the NSArray of NSString elements

No.
Or do I have to go through each element and convert each
NSString into a NSNumber so I can put it's byteValue into a
NSMutableData one by one? Is this the wrong approach?
Using NSNumber is a little extreme; just using -intValue ought to
cover things unless you need 64-bit integers.
Hmm, I wish there was a -charValue method for NSString. This still
needs a step to go from the integers that intValue gives me to
byte values for putting into NSData. I guess there's no graceful
way to accomplish this.
I may be missing something, but you could always archive the
NSArray instance using NSArchiver (then unarchive via NSUnarchiver).
Yah -- that'll bloat the size a bit, but you'll not have to deal
with any endianness issues, etc...
Wow now I'm confused. If these are byte values in NSData how does the
endianness factor in?
