By calling it by its name, I thought it would be clear which digest method I meant. I see how it can be mistaken for "Truncated message digests" in section 7. Yes, stating the CKM_SHA512_224 and CKM_SHA512_256 are special cases of CKM_SHA512_T is no problem. It may even be useful to rewrite this as one section instead of three, and make CKM_SHA512_224 and CKM_SHA512_256 subsections of the main one. Can I leave that to the doc editors, or do I need to do this myself? Let's address this on the call. I don't have a big problem with updating and clarifying references being considered "editorial" changes, but others might. Mike
