And yes, I did slip when I started talking about birthday attacks. Sorry

I find it interesting that you're advocating moving away from MD5 in a
situation where the known collision weaknesses aren't relevant, yet you
personally are still using SHA1 (which was broken about two years ago)
in a situation which *is* susceptible to collision - and your signature
didn't verify on that message (<ep65i0$496$1(a)sea.gmane.org>)g>).
