I have uploaded a new version of the TLSTM document. This version clarifies the 
process to update the SNMP-TLSTM registry and clearly indicates the existing 
assignments while prohibiting the use of 'none', 'md5', and 'sha1'. 

The only open issue at this time is the following paragraph:
> In addition, a new entry MUST be added to the SNMP-TLSTM HashAlgorithm 
> Registry every time a new hash algorithm is approved for any version of TLS 
> or DTLS. A separate entry MUST NOT be created when an existing hash algorithm 
> is used as a part of a new (D)TLS cipher suite.

The question is whether this creation of entries in the table should be 
automatic or not based on adoption in TLS. At IETF 113, I believe there was a 
request to include this requirement but Jurgen Schonwalder suggested that we 
should only add values when there is a known need. I can see the argument 
either way; however, I note that the currently TLS cipher suite list is quite 
long and requiring IANA to determine when a cipher suite contains a new hash 
algorithm might be more than a strictly administrative process (I am guessing 
that the IANA people involved could probably do this, but that is a guess as I 
do not know who they are and this might change over time?). So after further 
review, I am leaning towards removing this paragraph unless I hear objections 
from the group. Of course, any time that a new algorithm is needed, it can be 
requested through the expert review process.

NOTE: Once it was uploaded, I also noted a couple of typos that I will fix in 
the next version:
The text "Table 1:" is duplicated in the caption
The last two rows should have a description of "reserved" and "private" with a 
blank "Recommended" value rather than "none" and "N"
