Actually, the marginally smaller footprint is a really good point which
largely invalidates my arguments about making them easy to stick in
emails.  Without colons, a 256 bit hash formatted as hex is 64
characters long, which will fit in a single line.  With colons, they'd
be 96 characters which typically won't.  So, let's not do them.

Upper or lower case?
