The point is that if you specify both mailto: and https:, a compliant report 
generator should send to both URLs.  OTOH, if you only specify https:, you are 
going to miss a lot of reports.

The proposed workaround implies sending base64, which is what https: is meant 
to avoid.  Your suggestion to use it as an authentication mechanism for https: 
sounds better.  You just need to add From: and DKIM-Signature: header fields, 
where the binary body is hashed as-is, that is, with no canonicalization.  It 
seems to require an easy software enhancement.
