I just want to make sure I'm reading the spec
correctly.  Is SHA-256 used only for the PRF
calculation and the MAC algorithm is still
whatever the cipher suite says?  Or is SHA-
256 also used for MAC calculations?  I believe
the former, so MD5 could even still be used
with RC4 -- is this correct?

Thanks,

Mike
