Hmm, it looks like this was introduced in the -09 as a result of one of my
review comments (as the formulation in the -08 implicitly had the name
"Master Salt" refer to both the string with and without N1+N2).  I think I
forgot enough of how this works that the authors will need to chime in with
an appropriate clarification of where the original ("input") salt comes
from.

Thanks for spotting that (as well as the other comments),

Ben
