Somebody correct me, but I remember a url (or any long piece of text) can contain a small image. I think it was hexadecimal code. I was looking for the words "base16=" or "base32=".
What you mean is base64, and yeah.
In this case the latter part of the link is URL-encoded XML and probably unnecessary, I'd guess that only the first two parameters of the URL are really mandatory, but who knows. There are many ancient and ugly as hell web apps out there.

I'm sure apps that convert images to text will help with accessing the website.

Reminds me of my phoniatrics teacher who printed out a link for us as homework instead of just sending us the link via email
