Julius Davies resolved CODEC-140.
---------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
Assignee: Julius Davies
The characters in the word "Hello" are all valid according to the Base64
alphabet we are using. Take a look at "Page 24" of this document:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt
> isBase64 returns true for any UTF8 string

> I just called Base64.isBase64("Hello") for instance and it returns true. I
> thought it would return true only if it is valid base64 encoded string.
