Comment (by irl):

 I'm not sure why human readable is a concern. I've been digging in this
 some more and CollecTor is currently not even consistent with upper-case
 vs. lower-case for SHA-1 hex digests. I'm also concerned about SHA-1
 collisions that may become easier over time. I'd like to start using
 SHA-256 for references, especially where I'm using the reference to trust
 another document based on the signature over that hash. Currently looking
 at doing this for consensus->server descriptor and server
 descriptor->extra info relationships, I don't see any reason to not use
 SHA256 for bandwidth files too.
