I'm not sure at this point which is what we're trying to solve.
I see two
different use cases here: one, you have URLs that need to be
short so they can fit in Twitter messages and the like. Here, it
doesn't matter whether the URL is human-readable, as long as it's
short. The other use case is that you want to give people a
human-rememberable URL in speech or on TV or the like, where it can't
be hyperlinked. There it should be short but ideally also
descriptive.
A single URL scheme won't necessarily work well for all possible use cases.
