checksum (salted of course) value is bogus either by accident or malice
This is implying some cryptographic solution AFAIU (A CRC checksum won't protect from malice). I feel like a cryptographic addition to this specification would overcomplicate it considerably and add.
With adding 2 extra base32 characters, however, we have 12 bits to play with, so we can use a CRC-12 for the checksum
One the top comments in the HackerNews discussion was:
Should we do that as part of the official TypeID spec?
