No idea :)

Just because we have a 32char string that has a name of universally unique
does not guarantee that it is unique. Each client/feed could name its toplevel
resource "main....32" :-) so it may make sense to have some collision detection
in place if feeds send what they want.

I also did not imply we *have to* change to numbers.

Fact is though that in many places the randomly long ids waste space
and bandwidth. 
Especially when using a cache with those long ids as key and a payload
of a single byte.
