I meant nothing more than a one-byte algorithm number (section 9.4) and then the hash. So for example all the current fingerprints could be recoded with an 0x02 (SHA1) and then the existing fingerprint. If you want to version it, too, sure, why not. I think it's superfluous, but it wouldn't hurt and what's a byte among friends?
