Hi Joe,

[Joe] My concern is that there is not enough information in the draft to know what goes into the hash that is the subject of the code point assignment. Perhaps it is obvious to someone who implemented the SSH code that is not documented in this draft, but it is not obvious to me as a reader of the draft.

That's a fair point. I propose adding the following text in Section 2 as a warning to the reader:

  The format of the ED25519 public key with SHA-256 fingerprint is
  not documented in an authoritative specification.
