You may be right that the readability argument is specious. It may be that
cut-n-paste is the overwhelming use case for archived-at. Does that mean
you'd argue for the slightly shorter base64 encoding of the hash?
I have no strong feelings on this matter, but base64 does allow
for the '/' character, which can be a problem for usage within
URLs since it is a path separator.
That alone may make base32 the better choice, even though it
will lead to a longer string.
