Base64::decode to XMLCh* - why?

[Scott Morgan]

It makes no sense to me, Base 64 is for encoding binary data, when you 
decode it (regardless of whether the encoded source is in UTF16 (i.e. 
from a parsed XML file DOMNode) or ASCII form) the output should be bytes.

But the decode method that takes XMLCh* as it's source returns XMLCh* so 
that {0x01, 0x02, 0x03} becomes (0x01, 0x00, 0x02, 0x00, 0x03, 0x00 }. 
You have to transliterate the encoded data down to ASCII form to send to 
the XMLByte* decode method which seems a bit pointless.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?
