Another point:
I have no problems with base64[1]. However I was thinking that it might be
far easier for the C/C++/Java (and other low level languages) bunch to do
hexadecimal. e.g. zero zero for null, zero A for line feed.
It expands things in the input/output stream, but it might be worth some
consideration. Simplicity, cpu usage etc.
Cheerio,
Link.
[1] OK, I can't convert base64 to ASCII mentally yet. But I don't think
that should really a factor.
