The algorithms are the combinatorial combinations of the key selection steps in
the bullets of
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-signature-19#appendix-D,
including applying them in different orders. As I see it, suggesting a
particular order or requiring that particular steps be performed would be going
too far, as it would appear to be verging on normative requirements, where
there actually are none.
If you want us to say that the algorithms are as described in the first
sentence of this note, if you believe that would make things more clear, I can
do that.

I am not happy with the text a that is in this section. I think it completely
misses what I was suggesting to do in the mail message that I sent and I am not
sure that it captures what Richard suggested either. Among other things it
seems to talk about a number of algorithms but there are no actual algorithms
presented in the text. Nor does it deal with any of the issues about needing
to filter based on attributes and algorithms in any meaningful way.
