Comment(by jsgf):

 I've been looking at encoding caps in QR codes as a way to publish them,
 get them into phones and other devices, etc.  You can see from the
 attached images the codes are large.  They could probably be further
 reduced, but these were generated with "small" size at
 http://qrcode.kaywa.com/.  I don't know how well they'd reproduce if
 printed.

 The URL is also too large to fit into a single SMS (at 141 characters).
