I love both ideas. Once upon a time i wrote on the wiki/bugs something called tinydentid.
It was meant to deal with this, but no one ever took it serious.
Your id is just a bit big, but it could work (or we could short it to last Xh ids (so 3 digits?).

I'll be honest, I never liked the tinyID.
The notice IDs are currently only 7 characters
They probably won't be longer than 8 for a while.

The notice ID is the most canonical, it can be used everywhere.

I can get a message by XMPP, and if I want to see it on the web I just copy the id from the message and paste it into my browser. If I come across a message from 4 weeks ago that I want to reply to via XMPP, I just copy the Notice ID and paste it into XMPP. If I want to alert someone else to some notice I received, or found, I can just tell them "Check out notice 5450261" Then if they have something to say about it they can do "^5450261 Good Answer"
