If we use a crypto algorithm like that implemented by nistp224 (which is fast, simple, public domain, patent-free, cross-platform, and has Python bindings) then public keys are only 28 bytes. Even if we have to base64encode them, that's still only 38 characters, certainly short enough to include in the headers of every message.
