Let me add one additional observation: RFC 6353 has been a blueprint
for the YANG data model for SNMP configuration defined in RFC 7407.
The ietf-x509-cert-to-name module, which is part of RFC 7407, defines
a tls-fingerprint, which is also using a 1 octet hashing algorithm
identifier. If we expand SNMP's TC, we should also look at the YANG
equivalent. I also spotted that the YANG definition is imported by
draft-ietf-netconf-https-notif-09.txt, I am not sure whether there are
any other imports of this YANG definition (or the SNMP TC).
