Hi, Thank you all for the feedback (on and off-list). I've updated the RFC and attempted to thoroughly address all of it, and also have a question:
For further disambiguation, would it help if prehash=sha512 was changed to prehash=hmacsha512 ? I'm increasingly leaning towards it.

I was already working on bcrypt-wrap as the bcrypt-sha256 suggestion appeared first on list and then as RFC within a few days. It just turned out this way, hopefully we don't have to look at it as mine against yours. Cheers, Andrey.
