Why would you not specify how you calculate the 160 bit hash value which goes into the standard format of a Bitcoin Cash address? To anyone looking, the answer is the same as that for Bitcoin: Ripemd160(Sha256(public key)).

Because this is not what the spec is about. As you mention, it is the same.
