base32 extended hex is being / will be used for NSEC3 as it
preserves the sort order.

Great - perhaps we could add a reference to that. 

      Work in progress. draft-ietf-dnsext-nsec3-04.txt needs to
      be update to say base32 extended hex and reference this
      draft.

But such a reference from the Base16, Base32,... draft is not
normative.  To simply give (clearly non-normative) examples,
with each encoding, of where it is used or expected to be used
seems to me to helpful to the reader and to cost almost nothing.
