AW: base64

Ok, so there's no out-of-the box way to do this with vanilla xpath/xslt, but I should look into the EXPath Binary module then... This page http://expath.org/modules/binary/implems claims that saxon is going to implement the module, and it looks like this is indeed already the case, but needs Saxon PE: https://www.saxonica.com/html/documentation12/functions/expath-binary/encode-string.html

Denis
