My proposal basically replaces the random hex generating function in
`org-export-get-reference' with a call to a function
`org-reference-contraction' which takes a header and outputs a string
like "some-header-string" and then has digits appended should it be
non-unique (i.e. "some-header-string-2", "some-header-string-3").
For certain recognised blocks (e.g. src and example blocks) it appends
",{block}--{n}", for example: "some-header-string,code--1".

I consider this to be quite a nice improvement.
