Details
This function takes as input a xs:base64Binary value and the name of a
character encoding (for example UTF8). It interprets the contents of the
base64Binary value as a sequence of bytes representing a character string
in a particular encoding, and returns the corresponding string.
For example, the call saxon:base64Binary-to-string(xs:base64Binary("RGFzc2Vs"),
"UTF8") returns the string Dassel.
If the first argument is an empty sequence, the function returns an empty sequence.
