If I understand correctly the algorithm preferences serve two functions
at the same time:
1) the designature capabilities (a statement of what algorithms this
client is capable of handling)
2) they indicate the key owners preferences amongst of those
algorithms his client supports
This may be part of our misunderstanding here:
I do not accept that the algorithm *preferences* should be a complete
listing of all algorithms that the user is capable of using. IMHO it
should just be what the name implies: a list of prefered algorithms,
nothing more.
