No, but the RFCs never really covered correct handling of 'forked'
binary files (such as those found on Macs).
appledouble encoding at least gives everybody else a hope of
compatability by dividing the data and resource forks into seperately
encoded streams, whilst still letting another mac reconstruct the
stream correctly at the other end.
