Jay,
Even if it may not be as important as the things you mention, it's highly desirable that the instruction on the bottom of the page, about how you request an update to the list, is changed or removed.

Title:
  Please include SHA256 or SHA512 hashes on Ubuntu Hashes page

Status in “ubuntu-docs” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Could SHA256 and/or SHA512 hashes please be included on the Ubuntu
  Hashes page (currently located at
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes ?

  Currently, only MD5 is included, and this is the only https-protected
  official page I could find with the hashes. As can be seen in the
  Wikipedia page ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5 ) and the many
  citations of source material, MD5 is no longer recommended for this
  type of usage.

  Also - would it be possible to make the Ubuntu Hashes page more
  prominent for downloaders of the various Ubuntu software? It would be
  very helpful for checking the integrity of the ISOs against
  corruption.

  Thanks in advance.
