One question springs to mind: should there be some sort of definition
for algorithmic operations like "remove"?  I can infer that it
captures and returns the relevant substring, as distinct from the
"discard" operation, but I feel like it shouldn't need to be inferred.

Am I being overly pedantic?

Oh, and what's with the underscore in 4.9.1 Parsing Binary Content from Text?

~~~
   3.  Let b64_content be the result of removing content of input_string
       up to but not including the first instance of the character "_".
       If there is not a "_" character before the end of input_string,
       throw an error.
~~~

Should that be an asterisk?
