base64 & '='

[sims]

When using base64Decode it seems that the '=' or '==' chars
at the end of a base64Encoded string are inconsequential. It
seems to make no difference if one '=', two '==' or none are at the
end of the string being decoded.

Is it safe to assume that any ending equal signs in a base64Encoded
string do not have to be in that string when I decode it?
