oops, sorry. I did not realize you diff was backwards when I wrote that.

No, the original code is correct. RFC2849 states
value-spec = ":" ( FILL 0*1(SAFE-STRING) /
":" FILL (BASE64-STRING) /
"<" FILL url)
SAFE-INIT-CHAR = %x01-09 / %x0B-0C / %x0E-1F /
%x21-39 / %x3B / %x3D-7F
; any value <= 127 except NUL, LF, CR,
; SPACE, colon (":", ASCII 58 decimal)
; and less-than ("<" , ASCII 60 decimal)
SAFE-STRING = [SAFE-INIT-CHAR *SAFE-CHAR]
So any value beginning with : or < is not a SAFE-STRING and must be
base64 encoded
