Abstract
This memo proposes a base85 text encoding for arbitrary binary data that is suitable for use in XML documents. This encoding requires approximately 15/16 of the space of the MIME Base64 encoding that is currently supported as a primitive datatype in the XML Schema definition language. In a UTF-8 encoded XML entity, Base85 therefore has 3/4 of the overhead of Base64.
