New issue 31 by laurent....@gmail.com: Example in section 7.1 should not
contain padding.
http://code.google.com/p/salmon-protocol/issues/detail?id=31

Section 7.1 (Signing Messages with RSA-SHA256) contains an example on how
to build the string M used to compute the hash. In this example, the
base64url encoding of "application/atom+xml" is shown to
be "YXBwbGljYXRpb24vYXRvbSt4bWw=" but I understand from section 3.1 that
padding should be removed and it should read "YXBwbGljYXRpb24vYXRvbSt4bWw"

The string M should therefore read:
"Tm90IHJlYWxseSBBdG9t.YXBwbGljYXRpb24vYXRvbSt4bWw.YmFzZTY0dXJs.UlNBLVNIQTI1Ng"

Yep, typo, there should be no padding (no = characters) anywhere.
