I think now it's more confusing: the only RSA-OAEP algorithm defined by the spec is rsa-oaep-mgf1p and for this algorithm SHA1 is the only message digest allowed. It's absolutelly not clear why the <DigestMethod /> element is there and how it should be processed. If it was decided that the only allowed digest is SHA1 then I would suggest to remove <DigestMethod/> element from the description and make a note that more RSA-OAEP algorithms could be defined in the future (and algorithm specific sub-nodes may present in the <EncryptionMethod/> node).
