Thank you for writing and pushing through this document. It is high time that it gets out as an RFC.

A problem was discussed in detail through the SecDir review and I don't see an update in the draft to reflect that discussion.  It would be good to understand how to make this interoperable - "there is not enough information in the draft to know what goes into the hash that is the subject of the code point assignment.".  

If Stephen's okay with not having that included, since the draft is a code point assignment, I won't argue it, but would like to know if the sentence will be added as listed in response to the SecDir review to state that it isn't specified anywhere:

I'm still not super pleased that we're assigning a code point without a spec for how to use this algorithm in SSH.  But I've convinced myself that the design space is constrained enough here that a developer could probably figure things out.  If this does end up getting used, we should come back and make sure it's clear.
