The appendix details how one can do a sha256 style v8 algo that is basically v5 with the algorithm swapped. In theory one could do this for any hashing algorithm. https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9562.html#name-example-of-...

Though I am working on a way to solve this problem with UUIDs beyond 128 bits so we don't have to truncate the hash.

We are working on standardizing an alternate encoding technique for the 128 bit UUID so it can have a shorter text form.

To be fair, in RFC9562 I did cite two documents that are UUID Version 2 specifications. But RFC4122 was too cryptic for my taste.

As for the historical UUID types specified by the 0-7 Variant space: We are starting work on an informational RFC that will help folks understand those.

See https://github.com/yocto/draft-yocto-uuid if you want to add to some discussions and/or review text. We are still a bit early into the stages but I hope to have some progress soon.
