It still has not come (but I understand that others have got it). Maybe
the person posting the document does not get the noticiation? But this
is not the first time that OASIS mailings have taken a couple of days to
reach me when others have got them (don't know why - guess the server is
anti-English!).

I got this wrong - getting too old! The BASE64 encoding instruction
*does* prohibit use of HEX (otherwise we would have ambiguous
encodings), but it does NOT mandate BASE64 - use of XML mark-up for the
contents is still allowed as an encoders option.
Sorry for the wrong information.
(I don't think this affects the main discussion on what we want for XCBF.)
