[ale] HTML encryption?

[Master Wizard]

This looks very much like base64 encoding. I had to write one for storing encryption keys in a database. Because the key can contain non-printing (and thus non-storable) values, it must first be encoded. Then you decode it to use it. This may not be base64, but it is very similar.
