While these are laudable characteristics it is too late to consider the addition of other algorithms. Furthermore, even during the consideration we were looking for a minimal suite of ciphers by which we could ensure interoperability "out of the box". However, we also expect and encourage other algorithms to be used with XML Encryption. If you would like to see Camellia used with XML Encryption, the first step is to define an identifier and "profile", a test tar ball, and try to get some other implementations to interoperate. You could then try to publish this document a W3C Note or IETF document.
