I agree, both with your sentiment and the proposal, but the "more
easily remembered" tag is a bit more than irrelevant. Whilst the
low-order 16 bits might not be memorable, it might be quite easy to
keep up with which registries have used which upper 16 bits for a
little while, so manual 'whois' queries can be directed to the
appropriate server.
Cheers,
Rob
