In "4.10.14 The keygen element":
>Generate an RSA key pair using the settings given by the user, if appropriate,
>using the md5WithRSAEncryption RSA signature algorithm (the signature
>algorithm with MD5 and the RSA encryption algorithm) referenced in section
>2.2.1 ("RSA Signature Algorithm") of RFC 3279, and defined in RFC 2313.
>[RFC3279] [RFC2313]
Wouldn't it be better to at least recommend sha1WithRSAEncryption or better
even, sha256WithRSAEncryption, given that MD5 is generally considered as
broken?
