Maybe, maybe not. Identifiers do leak into the UI, and there is some 
beauty in identifiers being WYSIWIG -- or rather, what you read over the 
phone is what you get, as Phill said. So I understand the beauty of an 
identifier made of a series of easy to read character strings. But why 
insist on Base32? Don't we already have identifiers made of series of 
easy to read alpha-numeric strings nicely separated by dots?
