By calling it by its name, I thought it would be clear which digest method I meant.
I see how it can be mistaken for "Truncated message digests" in section 7.
Yes, stating the CKM_SHA512_224 and CKM_SHA512_256 are special cases of CKM_SHA512_T is no problem.
It may even be useful to rewrite this as one section instead of three, and make CKM_SHA512_224 and CKM_SHA512_256 subsections of the main one.
Can I leave that to the doc editors, or do I need to do this myself?
Let's address this on the call.
I don't have a big problem with updating and clarifying references being considered "editorial" changes, but others might.
