Something that is isn't really discussed is that the need for base64 arose so that binary data could transit 7-bit email systems. Base122 does not have that property - as far as I could tell. Whilst we are all, basically, living in an 8-bit world; I suspect it will be sometime before people feel comfortable assuming that an 8-bit transport is viable over email. [edit: spelling ]
