Just one minor nit, you should probably specify in section 2 that lengths are
in bytes (e.g. "32 bytes" rather than just "32"), given that there are bit-
lengths used in the same sentence.

Also, should at least SHA2-256 be a SHOULD?  That seems to be the most common
SHA2 variant around.

Anyone want to do some interop-testing with this?  I should be able to add
support for it later in the week when (if) I get a free day.

Peter.
