A minor point, but RFC1924 explains why using b85 is better than b94 if you
want to encode 128 bits. Short form of the explanation is that both of them
need 19 and a fraction chars to hold 128 bits, i.e. they both will encode to
20 chars, and b85 lets you choose more characters for other uses such as to
delimit the string.
