anyone doing a machine diff should be doing a machine diff of the raw
public key material in the first place, no?

The ssh "visual host key" artwork is for human consumption.  i'm rather
dubious about it its security properties, i confess, but i don't think
there is any reasonable context in which it should be
machine-interpreted.
