Like I said, algorithm optionality is a whole other story ...

But, if we are being practical, would it work to simply maintain a list - in a
small spec or on a WebCrypto WG web page - of WebCrypto specifications, which
we would point to from the base spec (under the definition of 'other
specifications').

This _surely_ solves the practical matter of discoverability, without invoking
the presently-rather-heavy W3C specification update process for each new
extension.
