Sandro came up with:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core2/#sec-MessageDigests

which mentions certain SHAx algorithms so it gives us an external 
reason for choosing a certain set:

Proposal 5:
MD5
SHA1
SHA256
SHA512
SHA384
SHA512

(i.e. remove SHA224, but that's the problmeatic one for the commenter 
(Jeen) because it's not in the core Java runtime).

http://download.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/security/StandardNames.html#MessageDigest

Do any programming languages have problems with this set?
