Speaking of Base64url, where it's defined in "Notational Conventions", is
there a way to prevent the HTML markup automatically linkifying "Section
3.2" ?  It's not marked up in the XML, but in the HTML output it is – and
the auto-generated link is incorrect, as it points to Section 3.2 in SPOP,
rather than 3.2 in RFC4648.

This may seem trivial, but the fact that we're using a less common variant
of Base64url makes me want to provide as much accurate context as possible
to help implementers.

This is how it renders today (note the Section 3.2 link)

   Base64url Encoding  Base64 encoding using the URL- and filename-safe
      character set defined in Section 5 of RFC 4648
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648#section-5> [RFC4648
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648>], with all
      trailing '=' characters omitted (as permitted by Section 3.2
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-spop-08#section-3.2>) and
      without the inclusion of any line breaks, whitespace, or other
      additional characters.  (See Appendix A
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-spop-08#appendix-A> for
notes on implementing
      base64url encoding without padding.)
