yes, makes sense to do it only for arrays.

Did not find any standalone usage of 'octet'. For usages 
of 'PRUint8' it makes sense:

nsIAccessible.idl:  AString getActionName(in PRUint8 index);
nsIAccessible.idl:  void doAction(in PRUint8 index);
nsIBidiKeyboard.idl:  void setLangFromBidiLevel(in PRUint8 aLevel);
nsIBinaryOutputStream.idl:    void write8(in PRUint8 aByte);
nsIGenericInterfaceInfoSet.idl:                                      in PRUint16 aParent, in PRUint8 aFlags,
nsIScriptableInterfaceInfo.idl:    nsIScriptableParamInfo getParam(in PRUint8 idx);
nsIVariant.idl:    void setAsInt8(in PRUint8 aValue);
nsIVariant.idl:    void setAsUint8(in PRUint8 aValue);
