3.2 says the "body hash algorithm is determined by the access token algorithm" 
so it makes sense to state the former where you define the latter (in 3.3.2 & 
3.3.3).
If someone ever wants to specify another algorithm the obvious thing to do is 
start with the text in 3.3.2 "hmac-sha-1" and modify it for the new algorithm 
-- but that would miss the extra detail that an algorithm spec needs 
(indicating a body hash alg).
Anyway, this is a basically a minor editorial issue.
