+Base-85 encoding is not formally specified. Base-85 encoding is a de facto standard,
+and different systems perform the encoding differently.
 
 The Ascii85 and Base85 functions in this module are two implementations of
 the de facto standard. Which function you should use depends on how the other
 software you use implements the Base-85 encoding.
 
-The two functions present in this module provide options
