Okay.  Let me offer a fingerprint proposal, then: SHA-256.  Basically,
identical to Werner's proposal, except with the full SHA-256.  That
resolves all the issues over truncation.  SHA-256 is mandatory to
implement.

Opinions or counterproposals?

It's simple, easy to implement, and can be done right now.  I'm in favor.

Months upon months have gone by with us largely twiddling our thumbs
while we talk about the perfect fingerprint format.  Full SHA256 isn't
perfect but it'll do, and we're now at the point where a good it'll-do
solution is the magic bullet we need.

No objection from me.
