In my opinion also.

Yeah. That seems right to me, but shouldn't the "Security Considerations" cover the attacks in

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fowler–Noll–Vo_hash_function

"The Python programming language previously used a modified version of the FNV scheme for its default hash function. From Python 3.4, FNV has been replaced with SipHash to resist 'hash flooding' denial-of-service attacks."

We do internet protocols here in the IETF, so I think those attacks are salient to the IETF mission. FNV seems like a good choice for internal data structures (not IETF territory). But no objection to documenting it on the Independent stream.

thanks,
Rob
