Another idea for the mangling:

There are 36 alphanumeric digits (0-9, a-z) which could be used for
the mask but it currently only uses the 16 hex digits (0-9, a-f).

If the mask were converted from base 16 to base 36 then it would be
smaller.  4 characters instead of 8.  IPs would be 17 characters
long instead of 29.  Worth it?
