Base64 isn't exactly efficient. (Though it might be more efficient than an additional HTTP request. But if so, why aren't they using it for the homepage logo, say?) I wonder if they're using it as non-useless padding for stopping the IE-overrides-too-short-404s behavior.

Base64 is ok when the response is gzipped
