The first example doesn't have a corresponding "rcd" that it was generated from, and the following examples ("sha256-30SFLGHL40498527", etc) look too short to be valid.

I fixed the examples calculating specific hash.

RFC4648 pretty much says implementations can ignore “=“, so while i think the intent is for no “=“ for no other reason than it’s not necessary, and the examples i’ve included don’t show them either, i don’t think it would break Base64 decoder implementations if they were included or not included.

Yeah i think i confused things and got the base64 procedure backwards, so i fixed that text to say that either string/binary input should be hashed and the output value should be in base64 format.

I will be releasing new version soon once i finish fixing Ben’s comments.
