Harold,

I like your interpretation of the existing text, and hope that's what
implementors have been doing.  However, I did want to make sure that we
we're all on the same wavelength, in response to a question from a WG
member who felt that the language was ambiguous.  We'll clarify it in the
next round of edits, e.g., state that MD5 and SHA-1 are viewed as having a
1-byte block size because of their own padding conventions.

Steve
