I wasn't thinking clearly when I wrote that, those would work in the "get
truncated down to the 'short' form then compared" sense. Which is odd and
unexpected, but probably fine.
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).
