One can use a (location,hash) pair to stand for any object -- no matter what
size.  I, for one, would rather not send digitized photos or voice along as
part of a certificate I was using to get FTP access to some site.  I would
want that to be small -- possibly referring to such objects and
incorporating them by reference but not schlepping them.
