[Bug 26465] Algorithm normalization doesn't allow arbitrary operations for AlgorithmIdentifier fields

Mark,

I've read through this bug several times, and your other comment, and it's
still entirely opaque to me what you see the problem as, nor what you're
proposing as the solution.

Your comment about (type, DOMString?) makes me think you're wanting to
introduce a new interface, which surely doesn't sound right. The nullability of
DOMString? alone raises concerns.

Perhaps you could try restating the problem as you see it.

If you're objecting to the specialization of HashAlgorithmIdentifier, well,
another solution is to simply allow digest algorithms to be used for all
operations, since they are 'leaves' (if I understand what you're referring to)
in nearly all supported operations.

Still, clarity desired.
