Base64-encoded DER. It's what the XML security standards all (W3C/IETF
XML Digital Signature, W3C/IETF XML Encryption, W3C XKMS, OASIS
WS-Security, etc.) all use. XML DSIG defines a raw public key format, but
nobody uses that.

I wonder what you're thinking of? The W3C/IETF XML Encryption standard is
*very* good at encrypting XML. Were you thinking of that, and using it to
do something else?
