> I stand by the NACK though (One additional unintended consequence of
this is someone accidentally going to `spacebookcorewww.onion` would
actually attempt to get descriptors instead of failing at the validation
stage).
spacebookcorewww.onion won't be translated at all, since it already
contains 16 characters. And the chance of hash collision for shortened
names is absolutely equal to complete 16-character addresses.
