As discussed at
http://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/8634/how-scrypt-uses-salsa
it appears that the statement made here
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-josefsson-scrypt-kdf-01#page-3
that
>  Salsa20/8 Core is not a cryptographic hash function since it is not collision-resistant.
is (at least) causing confusion, and (I believe) is wrong, for the Salsa20/8 Core
is intended to be collision-resistant, and is, AFAIK.
