It won't work anyway:

This does not allow to have more than 1 signature in the second part
with different hash algorithms. I know that this is addressed in
the multisig draft but it would be nice to have 2 signatures in this
protocol.
So why shouldn't we allow a wildcard or a list. The only drawback
is that one has to apply multiple hash algorithms and select later
which to use.
