Is this really the case, or is SHA-256 a sort of generic placeholder
for "something better than SHA-1"? I haven't paid very much attention
to what the cryptographers have been saying about this, but it doesn't
seem clear to me that SHA-256 has been settled on as The short term
replacement. Or has it?
