Cool, but wouldn't it be shorter than that? An example address:
USK at 
PFeLTa1si2Ml5sDeUy7eDhPso6TPdmw-2gWfQ4Jg02w,3ocfrqgUMVWA2PeorZx40TW0c-FiIOL-TWKQHoDbVdE,AQABAAE/Index/35/
(110)

We can drop the bits at each end:

PFeLTa1si2Ml5sDeUy7eDhPso6TPdmw-2gWfQ4Jg02w,3ocfrqgUMVWA2PeorZx40TW0c-FiIOL-TWKQHoDbVdE,AQABAAE
 (96)

And the commas:
PFeLTa1si2Ml5sDeUy7eDhPso6TPdmw-2gWfQ4Jg02w3ocfrqgUMVWA2PeorZx40TW0c-FiIOL-TWKQHoDbVdEAQABAAE
 (94)

But we have to use base32 instead of base64... that increases it to
94*6/5=113 chars... :<

Oh well.
