To go further - you could just make it a rule that any algorithm names 
that contain dashes get the dashes stripped.

I don't know of any case where a dash contributes to the uniqueness of 
an algorithm name.

Thus my previous example becomes:

ssh://user%host.example.com@localhost
  ?fp-md5-sshdss=c1b13029d7b8de6c977710d746416387
  &fp-sha1-sshrsa=0c112b31435062798d7b8de6c977710d746416387

There we go, nice and dandy. :)
