Base64 is comprised of a-z, A-Z, 0-9, +, and /. The '=' character is for padding.

In other words, the '<' and '>' characters aren't in Base64-encoded data.

Good point! I forgot that minor detail. ;-) So that means the tag won't ever appear in the text for the base64 encoded string and you're safe.

I'd still just use a binary file, but that's just a personal preference.
