SHA1 is used now as a hash function to get HITSs, but are there any plans 
to phase out its use in favor of the SHA-2 variants? I was just wondering 
what happens in case of a HIT collision, since the complexity of an 
existing attack[1] is only 2**63.

Actually it would be useful to have IPv6 address space reserved for HIP 
only, then we could have ip6.arpa pointers etc
