The problem with that (or the more verbose form) arises as soon as you
try to express "here's the host's ssh-dss fingerprint and here's its
ssh-rsa fingerprint". This turns into something like
fp-md5=ssh-dss-60b725f10c9c85c70d97880dfe8191b3&fp-md5=ssh-rsa-3b5d5c3712955042212316173ccf37be,
which, syntactically, is providing conflicting values to a single
parameter. That's whence the attempt to move the to the left side of
the equal sign in some way.
It's ugly, but you could base64-encode both: fp-bWQ1-c3NoLXJzYQ=....
Or you could ignore the issue, assuming that the future will never
define hash and cipher names which make the encoding ambiguous. :)
