Subject: Re: [PHC] Specification of a modular crypt format

At the moment the specs doesn't coincide with the sample implementation
(parameters order, keyid/data). Should we..

*  Authorize parameters in arbitrary order, or in a predefined order?

* Freeze the specification of "keyid" and "data"? (is the keyid mandatory
for Argon2, compared to a mere "key=.."?)

Here's the link to the specs with edit rights:

(please
report any change)

For a preliminary check of Thomas' code, tweeted this:

Thanks!
