-/**
- * $Id$ [18-Apr-2004]
- *
- * Defines an Inline Encoding parameter. Constants are provided for all encodings specified in <a
- * href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt">RFC2045</a>.
- *
- * <pre>
- *  4.2.7 Inline Encoding
- *
- *     Parameter Name: ENCODING
- *
- *     Purpose: To specify an alternate inline encoding for the property
- *     value.
- *
- *     Format Definition: The property parameter is defined by the following
- *     notation:
- *
- *       encodingparam      = &quot;ENCODING&quot; &quot;=&quot;
- *                            (&quot;8BIT&quot;
- *          ; &quot;8bit&quot; text encoding is defined in [RFC 2045]
- *                          / &quot;BASE64&quot;
- *          ; &quot;BASE64&quot; binary encoding format is defined in [RFC 2045]
- *                          / iana-token
- *          ; Some other IANA registered iCalendar encoding type
- *                          / x-name)
- *          ; A non-standard, experimental encoding type
- *
- *     Description: The property parameter identifies the inline encoding
- *     used in a property value. The default encoding is &quot;8BIT&quot;,
- *     corresponding to a property value consisting of text. The &quot;BASE64&quot;
- *     encoding type corresponds to a property value encoded using the
- *     &quot;BASE64&quot; encoding defined in [RFC 2045].
- *
- *     If the value type parameter is &quot;;VALUE=BINARY&quot;, then the inline
- *     encoding parameter MUST be specified with the value
- *     &quot;;ENCODING=BASE64&quot;.
- *
- *     Example:
- *
- *       ATTACH;FMTYPE=IMAGE/JPEG;ENCODING=BASE64;VALUE=BINARY:MIICajC
- *        CAdOgAwIBAgICBEUwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEEBQAwdzELMAkGA1UEBhMCVVMxLDA
- *        qBgNVBAoTI05ldHNjYXBlIENvbW11bmljYXRpb25zIENvcnBvcmF0aW9uMRw
- *        &lt;...remainder of &quot;BASE64&quot; encoded binary data...&gt;
- * </pre>
