Given that we haven't changed the supported algorithms in almost a decade, it seems reasonable to lock them in and define their ordering rather than deferring to the user agent.
If we add new algorithms in the future, this specificity will make it simpler to reason about how those algorithms fit into the system.
This is not strictly an editorial change, as it does introduce new requirements for user agents. Practically, however, it only encodes the status quo, and will not result in any change in existing tests or behavior.
Also: this closes #106 via an adjusted note in a section the patch was touching anyway.
