Shouldn't we tell people what kind of hash these are (e.g. MD5)?
In a perfect world, that would be lovely. I guess that some people are used to having to distinguish hashes based on the width of the digest, as everyone "knows" that the commonly used hashes/checksums (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, CRC32) have different sizes. It's of course not a future-proof or robust assumption. -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se
