SHA1 is just a hash; CRAM-SHA1 is a mechanism for authenticating someone using a challenge-response exchange, which happens to use SHA1 as part of its protocol. CRAM-MD5 is documented in RFC2195, which was "deliberately written to permit easy upgrading to use SHA" (so I'm not sure if there's a separate document on CRAM-SHA1 per se).
