Yup. My only objection to changing the hash algorithm is that it means a rev of the document that could cause us to go through another wglc or ietf last call (as opposed to editorial changes, which presumably would not). Otherwise, while I don't think it makes any difference, it's otherwise fine to use SHA-256 instead of MD5. _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
