The described processing steps are ambiguous. In particular SHR and SHL give different results on different machines and with signed and unsigned values
Describe the hash algorithm in a platform independent manner.

Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment US-0054 (Modified: 2008-01-13) Agreed; to ensure this process is described in a platform-independent manner, the following changes will be made in Part 4, ยง2.15.1.28, page 1,158, line 15: The following steps assume that all words are unsigned, the word size is two bytes, and that bit-level SHL/SHR operations shift in the direction of the highest-order and lowest-order bit, respectively. [Example: 0x61 SHR 1 is 0xC2, as 01100001 shifted one position in the direction of its highest-order bit is 11000010. end example] First, t T he password shall be hashed using the following algorithm: Similar Comments: BR-0005 , CA-0017 , DK-0158 , GB-0222 , IR-0014 , KE-0022 , PT-0041 ,
