That page says “For the best experience your client should also support some of the Twtxt Extensions…” but it is clear you don’t need to. I would like it to stay that way, and publishing a big long spec and calling it “twtxt v2” feels like a departure from that. (I think the content of the document is valuable; I’m just carping about how it’s being presented.)

It’s for this reason I’d like to try changing the Twt Hash extension to use SHA-256 which is a far more common tool available pretty much everywhere.
