To be pedantic, the application is OpenSSH.
Well, right now, yes. But it is "a member of the family of applications
which implement the `SSH' protocol". I am not saying that this can
actually happen real soon now, but if OpenSSH doesn't work the way we
want it to work, it is possible that our <application>SSH</application>
in a few years will be <application>FooSSH</application>.
When the 'Open' part of 'OpenSSH' is important, it is obligatory that
we mention and make it stand out (if not for any other reason, as a form
of our appreciation for the work of the OpenSSH folks). But when we
talk about the 'SSH' protocol in general, do we really have to do so?
This chapter, as far as I can tell, talks about SSH in general, as
Giorgos stated. There is another chapter talking about OpenSSH in
particular, and in that chapter OpenSSH is used when talking about the
application.
Excellent! I'm glad we got that straight :)
So, Niclas, just to get this thread directed towards a more productive
closure, in a previous post of yours you wrote:

Should we expect a patch for the <application>SSH</application> stuff?
If you are going to work on this, it would be nice to know, so we avoid
duplication of work by 2 or more prople for the same relatively trivial
change.

It's already done, docs/105456.

I thought it was clear that I was going to do it, sorry for the confusion.
Regards!
