Yes, but can you easily modify the URL in that form? Do you have an editor that can open it as such and let you check and modify the URL? > In other words, to me this feels like claiming that ISO 8859-1 text files > are not in the preferred form of modification because they're not Unicode. That's different: most editors are able to open both ISO-8859-1 and Unicode files. Concerning base64-encoded text files, it's quite borderline. Possibly some editor do support opening base64-encoded files, then it's fine to have this as source code. Otherwise I don't see it as the preferred format for modifications. Samuel
