Well, I can certainly understand the bytes->base64->bytes side of thing too. The "text" produced is specified as using "a 65-character subset of US-ASCII", so that's really bytes.
But it then goes on to say that these same characters are also a subset of EBCDIC. So it seems to be talking about characters as abstract entities here, not as bit patterns.
