Sure as I am wanting to avoid letters/number that can be confused by an user. You can change the encoding used to whatever you like. You can use less than 32 characters if you wish.
Edit. I do agree that I should make this clearer since if someone uses less than 31 characters then they will run into problems if they don't update my code.
The code is base32 - it is just that I am not using one of the characters. If someone needs base32 they can add back one of the characters I removed and it would be fine.

Your Base32 alphabet only has 31 characters.

point is, it's not base32 if there are 31 characters in the alphabet.

Call it what you like, but it's base-31 and your name is misleading.
The code is base32 I just choose to never use one of the possible base32 digits. The way the Damm algorithm works this is fine to do.
