This doesn't appear to address the problem. At all.

I misread your original comment. Nothing I posted is related to constant time encoding. I apologize for the confusion.

It's OK. I just want to be clear that my objection to base-122 is the same as my objection to base-N where N != 2^m for some integer m.
