21 //   data:[<mediatype>][;base64],<data>
22 //
23 // The <mediatype> is an Internet media type specification (with optional
24 // parameters.)  The appearance of ";base64" means that the data is encoded as
25 // base64.  Without ";base64", the data (as a sequence of octets) is represented
26 // using ASCII encoding for octets inside the range of safe URL characters and
27 // using the standard %xx hex encoding of URLs for octets outside that range.
28 // If <mediatype> is omitted, it defaults to text/plain;charset=US-ASCII.  As a
29 // shorthand, "text/plain" can be omitted but the charset parameter supplied.
