s/recommended/proposed/
The IETF has not recommended any "solutions to hash problems". The
sense of the room at the Hash BOF and the SAAG discussion at the
Paris IETF meeting was that the IETF should *not* propose solutions
to the problem. That is why the BOF did not turn into a Working Group
and why there has been little discussion of the proposed solutions in
the relevant IETF working groups.
