Is there a specified text encoding for TWKB?

It would be nice if the spec mandated a standard encoding. This would allow more standard use of TWB for things like encoding geometry inside JSON.

Possibilities for text encoding include Hex and Base64. Bases64 is smaller than Hex, so would be best. There may be other better ones?

Yes, why not. I guess specifying things makes it more usable. I think base64 sounds good.

Do you make a PR?

I will make a PR when I have time.
