I would expect that "round-tripping" an array, by first writing to an Base64
element, and then reading the same element back, would produce output identical
to the input, but that turns out not to be consistently true.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) define an array like this:

byte[] fakeState = new byte[1024];
for(int i = 0; i<fakeState.Length; i++)
   fakeState[i] = (byte)(i & 0xff);

2) write the array using XmlWriter.WriteBase64, either to a string or a file
3) read the data back from xml, using code similar to this:

byte[] fixedSizeBuffer = new byte[1024];

                                // we cannot completely trust the length read
to indicate the end.
                                int bytesRead;
                                do
                                {
                                    bytesRead =
reader.ReadElementContentAsBase64(fixedSizeBuffer, 0, 1024);
                                    Console.WriteLine(bytesRead + " " +
reader.NodeType.ToString());
                                    if(bytesRead > 0)
                                    {
                                        if(readDataBuffer == null)
                                            readDataBuffer = new byte[0];

                                        int oldLength = readDataBuffer.Length;
                                        Array.Resize(ref readDataBuffer,
oldLength + bytesRead);
                                        Array.Copy(fixedSizeBuffer, 0,
readDataBuffer, oldLength, bytesRead);
                                    }
                                } while(bytesRead > 0 && reader.NodeType ==
XmlNodeType.Text);

produces an output array with 1026 elements, and output like this:
1024 Text
2 EndElement

I would have expected to see:
1024 Text
0 EndElement

and an array with a length of 1024.
