Description

Since the PAKE has ~128-bit security, it would be slightly cleaner to use SHA-256 for the HKDF construction rather than SHA-512, so that the strength of the hash function is balanced with the strength of the PAKE. This would be incompatible with the Go implementation, so #1 would be nice to close out first (to be sure that there are no *existing* mismatches in the implementation).
