Just wanted to let the list know I have taken portions of the utils/base64, cleaned it up, added jUnit tests and submitted it as a patch to the Apache Jakarta Commons Codec bugzilla. The reason for this is that other crypto-related software may need this functionality and I know in some of my stax test code, this was the only functionality from xml-security I was using and I am already using the apache commons-codec Base64 encoder for encoding binary CDATA chunks. The integer encoding is also the only reason that I can see that xml-security has its own base64 encoder implementation, and the commons-codec project focuses on this sort of thing and has lots of unit tests, etc. The url for the bugzilla page is:
