Gnarlie,
everything is a matter of choice. Besides choice or personal taste
one should have more objective reasons to select one or the other.
Reasons I'd prefere something that I can actually read and not have
a headache:
1. If I have to change 3 different email addresses, I'd rather use
something that is easily distinguishable by sight.
1a. If I have 10 different addresses your suggestion would drive me nuts.
2. I like to script in AppleScript not perl....
Funny, it looks more as if you like to script in JavaScript. ;)
Problem: JavaScript does not exist in all Web browsers. You should care!
I took care of the problem using Perl, and wrote a form-mail script
which keeps the email address completely hidden, yet allows everyone
to send mail and even CC themselves.

And since it's a lookup key, changing an email address means not
having to go through multiple web pages -- just update the data file.

They could, but they don't. I've had a dedicated ASCII encoded email address
on a page for 2 years now and the second I get spam to that address I'll
know they broke the code.
Assuming they find the page. ;) Don't you need a "control group"
(unencoded address on the same page) for a scientific test?
But it's unlikely it will ever happen since its just too processor
intensive.
Didn't they used to say that about password cracking?
