This is a modest suggestion for the new 52 chars onion urls. If it is
possible to encode the creation date of the onion private key in the
public onion url, it would help a bit in allowing the users to detect if
an onion url is the real deal or if it is a phishing url. Reasoning is the
older url would most likely be the genuine url.
