Description
A string such as D=aB is invalid and should be rejected by the parser

This needs a decision. Our parser would accept such a string in all modes as the string does not have any non base64 alphabet. On popular base64 decoders as well such a string is accepted but it is rejected by some parsers like Python's base64 library as it is incorrect to have padding bytes in the middle of a string.

@Philippe Antoine what do you think about this issue?

Should be rejected in strict mode, not in others if it is accepted by popular base64 decoders
