So TextDecoder is bytes to string and TextEncoder is string to bytes. If we always represent the base64-variant as a sequence of bytes the signature seems fine. If you want to get a string out of those bytes again you could utf-8 decode it for instance. I'd be interested in knowing what the level of interest is outside of Google for this feature. -- http://annevankesteren.nl/
