When encoding/decoding using base64-method, multiple alphabets are available. In addition to the character-set, a description is provided. There is a alphabet called Radix-64 (RFC 4880) defined in src/core/lib/Base64.mjs. The RFC in parentheses was introduced by 4cf80e3ebbda68091150ac6f337d950223bcd2ec. The alphabet in question is 0-9A-Za-z+/=.

However, the alphabet described in RFC 4880 called Radix-64 is not different from the normal Basse-64 alphabet. I could not find an RFC/… for this alphabet called Radix-64, but found usage in the wild, but called Base-64.

I suggest to remove the RFC 4880 in the description, leave it as Radix-64 and if possible, refer to the correct standard.
