Ok. I see. Sorry for the noise.
Not sure how storing base64 would help.
Namely file size savings and sanity. Instead of all those ridiculous X number of hex bytes on each line split with spaces, you have a single quoted entry that's a base64ed. And you can actually manually edit that, god forbid someone wants to do that then.
