+/**
+ * $Id$ [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>
