Erik,

You raised an issue, 460[1], with respect to allowing implementations to
choose when to optimize. The working group are amending the text you
commented on to address this issue, amongst others.

As an aside, I would note that the notion of starting with base64 and
optimizing to binary is a specification convention. We actually expect
that people will often start with the binary data and that it is just at
the logical level that the base64 characters exist. 

Regards
