The Crockford version is ill-defined in the sense that you can't recover the exact input string length in some cases; by example both "\x00"*4 and "\x00"*5 share the same encoding. base-64 encoding, by example, uses '=' as pad bytes at the end to avoid this problem. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
