Will fix these.

There was a conscious decision made not to delve into the 
solution space and this was the reason the hash agility support
section was removed. The WG consensus for the document was only
to analyze the threats and not propose solutions. The earlier
versions of the documents were stretching this consensus a bit
but the latest version is in line. This does not imply that the
hash agility solution is not needed or is unworkable :-) just 
that it is out of the scope of this document.

Cheers
Suresh
