To go further - you could just make it a rule that any algorithm names that contain dashes get the dashes stripped. I don't know of any case where a dash contributes to the uniqueness of an algorithm name. Thus my previous example becomes: ssh://user at host.example.com ?fp-md5-sshdss=c1b13029d7b8de6c977710d746416387 &fp-sha1-sshrsa=0c112b31435062798d7b8de6c977710d746416387 There we go, nice and dandy. :)
