Doesn't RFC 4086 already cover that ground?
http://tools.ietf.org/search/rfc4086

It wouldn't have to resolve debates like general purpose computer vs engineered crypto hardware, or one good entropy source vs hash together everything, but instead present the arguments and engineering trade offs involved.  As I envision it, it would also summarize and point to existing standards and implementations where they exist.

There has been some discussion on one of the lists of a revision of
that RFC. Anyone with a contribution to make might contact the authors
or find the appropriate IETF list and comment there.
