https://github.com/telehash/telehash.org/tree/master/v3/hashname is were the examples I was looking at are
Yeah, pretty obvious now, one of those I-remember-doing-it-but-never-actually-did things, thanks for catching it!
the rfc linked in the hash name spec defines the alphabet as not containing the character '0' but various example encoded keys and stuff I see contain the character '0', which leads me to believe whatever encoding that is, it is not base32.
the rfc also defines a format called base32hex which does include the character '0' so it seems likely that encoding is what is being used. the rfc says the base32hex encoding should not be referred to as base32 (likely trying to avoid this confusion).
