Fair point. However, if the TLS client says "I support only $x and $y", that 
does not change how the TLS server chose the algorithm in its certificate in 
the past, only what to do if it happens to have multiple certificates with 
different algorithms, which seems rare. Ben's proposal leans way over towards 
everyone having to agree ahead of time.
