I know this has been in the spec for like, ever, but is this the right way round? IPLD generally refers to "encoding" as turning an object (string, here) into bytes and "decoding" as getting an object from bytes.

I think it has the same problem since "encoding" is still in the title.

This README was written a long time ago and the ecosystem has coalesced around certain language and conventions since then, I think we should bring this in line with everything else.
