<P class=MsoNormal>The theme in question is mine; only issue it
turns out after re-reading all the tips here is the base_64

the framework is used everywhere. I figured several themes in the
repository already use it. I'm very aware of the base64 encoding
rule; <BR><BR>I've removed the option altogether; the encoding
