RFC 5656, "Elliptic Curve Algorithm Integration in the Secure Shell Transport Layer", December 2009

Section 6.2,2nd para says: 

|  For example, the method name for ECDH key exchange with ephemeral
|  keys generated on the nistp256 curve is "ecdsa-sha2-nistp256".

It should say:

                                    vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
|  For example, the method name for the SSH ECC public key algorithm
|  using the nistp256 curve is "ecdsa-sha2-nistp256".
   ^^^^^

Notes:

Rationale: The RFC text inadvertently mixes content appropriate for
Section 6.2 with content in Section 6.3; the current text would cause
a contradiction with 6.3, as can be seen from the 2nd para in 6.3.

Section 9 says: 

The SHA2 family 
consists of four variants -- SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-521 
-- named after their digest lengths.

It should say:

The SHA2 family 
consists of four variants -- SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 
-- named after their digest lengths.

Notes:

The SHA2 family has a SHA-512 variant, not SHA-521.
