Subject: new hashes to go with AES

NIST has new specs for 3 new SHA-2 hashes with length of
256, 384, and 512 bits.  These were created for use with the
new AES.  NIST also reports that they will formally allocate
ISO OIDs for AES and these new hashes, probably next week,
which is further indication that NIST does not believe that any
change in any of these algorithms is possible at this time.

	It would seem clever to allocate algorithm IDs in the
drafts at this point, IMHO.
