What prevents future conflicts if someone registers a name that conflicts
with the short name?

Good point.

Should the short-names be IANA registered to prevent
this?

This is a good idea. I've added:
 Such alternative name SHOULD be registered in the IANA
 "Hash Function Textual Names" registry.

(Should future names be limited to 9 chars?)

I would rather not put extra restrictions on another registry due to
limitations on SASL mechanism names.

I would also note that the likelyhood of registering another SCRAM
mechanism name is quite low, and the likelyhood of the conflict
described above is even lower, so I wouldn't worry too much about this
case anyway.
