COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This draft chooses the wrong input to the hash function. Other
specifications, even those that do not otherwise use ASN.1 use 
the SubjectPublicKeyInfo ASN.1 structure for that. I raised
that point in the WG and during IETF LC but was in the rough.
Nonetheless, this will I believe need to be done over later
when or if there is a need to identify a public key in a 
cross-protocol or similar context. That's a waste of effort
for no good reason. The world won't end though.
