Doc/library/base64.rst:34: interface does not implement :rfc:`3548`.
In my mind, MIME’s transfer encoding is an application of RFC 3548; it
does implement base 64 under the covers. The real point is it just adds
line breaking on top. What about:
“. . . and adds newlines every 76 characters. The legacy interface
implements MIME’s *base64* transfer encoding, as per :rfc:`2045`.”
