Re: FW: Re: rsa/oaep

      Joseph:

      I was proposing this as a long-term naming convention for the use of
OAEP.  I did not propose that we replace the existing URI, merely that we
document that the existing URI is "RSA with OAEP and SHA-1 used for both
the hash algorithm and the MGF".

I don't think we would simplify the issue by maintaining two URIs (and
complicating it with a SHOULD). Given that there is an opposition to
change, I think we just have to stick with what we have.
