If you have an RFC complaint, I suggest you let them know at [1]. :)

Nit: s/Id/ID/

See https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments#initialisms

This is math/rand, so this will always produce the same series of values for
each execution.

I guess using crypto/rand would be easiest, and would also make IDs less
predictable.

I wonder if we should allow callers to override this. (Well, /shrug, if they
don't like it they can always roll their own)

+	}
+	return fmt.Sprintf("<%s.%s@%s>",
+		base36.EncodeBytes(now.Bytes()),
+		base36.EncodeBytes(nonce.Bytes()),
