I think that we need readable examples in the XEPs over anything else.
My suggestion would be to use human-readable, short resource
identifiers, both in the client case and in the auto-generated proxy
case. It is possible to convey the same information in another, indirect
way, that does not harm understanding:

For example:

The full user JID "alice@xmpp.example/client1-uuid" is mapped to the
proxy JID "channel+alice-uuid@mix/uuid-alice-A"

with a footnote or another remark clarifying that the in the examples,
generated UUIDs are replaced with the verbatim string "uuid", and that
actual JIDs will be unreadably-long and hard-to-debug.
