I particularly want to use libxml2.

I don't think there is any problem with using a binary encoding
indicator.

Daniel is right of course, that until xml:binary is speced it's usage
might be cavalier (I always liked the hats).

One doesn't have to use xml:binary of course. Simply register a
namespace:

   <element bin:binary="base64">
      .
      .
      .
   </element>
