-- section 4, first paragraph: "...as long as this alternative name

Function
Textual Names" registry."
What prevents future conflicts if someone registers a name that
conflicts
with the short name?
Good point.
Should the short-names be IANA registered to prevent
this?
This is a good idea. I've added:
Such alternative name SHOULD be registered in the IANA
"Hash Function Textual Names" registry.
(Should future names be limited to 9 chars?)
I would rather not put extra restrictions on another registry due to
limitations on SASL mechanism names.
I would also note that the likelyhood of registering another SCRAM
mechanism name is quite low, and the likelyhood of the conflict
described above is even lower, so I wouldn't worry too much about this
case anyway.
