Nits in current drafts
I've mentioned some of these before, but all of them still apply to the
set of drafts released on Friday.
draft-ietf-secsh-transport-23.txt:
Section 6.4: replace "The hash algorithms are described in [SCHNEIER]."
with "The SHA-1 hash algorithm is described in [FIPS-180-2]. The MD5 hash
algorithm is described in [RFC1321]."
Section 6.6: replace each occurrence of "the SHA-1 hash" with "the SHA-1
hash, as defined in [FIPS-180-2],".
Section 6.6: replace "according to [SCHNEIER] and [RFC3447]" with
"according to the RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 scheme of [RFC3447]".
Sections 8.1, 8.2: replace each occurrence of "SHA-1" with "SHA-1, as
defined in [FIPS-180-2],".
Section 15.1: delete references [RFC2693] and [RFC3280].
Section 15.1: add references:
<reference anchor="RFC1321">
<front>
<title>The MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm</title>
<author initials='R.' surname='Rivest' fullname='Ronald L. Rivest'>
<organization/>
</author>
<date month="April" year="1992"/>
</front>
<seriesInfo name='RFC' value='1321'>
</reference>
<reference anchor="FIPS-180-2">
<front>
<title>Secure Hash Standard (SHS)</title>

(NIST)</organization>
</author>
<date month="August" year="2002"/>
</front>
<seriesInfo name="FIPS PUB" value="180-2"/>
</reference>
The references to other FIPS PUBs could do with all having the same
format and being in numerical order. I'd suggest replacing them with:
<reference anchor="FIPS-46-3">

<title>Data Encryption Standard (DES)</title>

draft-ietf-secsh-connect-24.txt:
Section 5.2: replace second paragraph with:
After receiving this message, the recipient MAY send the given number
of bytes more than it was previously allowed to send; the window size
is incremented. Implementations MUST correctly handle window sizes of
up to 2^32 - 1 bytes. The window MUST NOT be increased above 2^32 - 1
bytes.
