COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the updates in the -18; they look good with one exception:

In Section 2.4, I strongly recommend using the word "encode" (and "encoding")
instead of "encrypt" (and "encryption") -- it is good to reserve the term "encrypt"
for a procedure that applies cryptographic protection.  Part of why we are
anti-recommending base64 for this usage is because it does not provide cryptographic
protection, so it is surprising to use the word "encrypt" to describe it.
