I don't like adding vendor specific CKA_ attributes into opensc.
It is true that this is fully compliant with the PKCS#11 specification,
however, it makes the implementation even more complex.

I did not follow the entire thread, however, I even don't fully understand
why it is so important to set the PKCS#15 attribute.

Application that uses PKCS#11 should be as generic as it can be, it should
not use any vendor specific magic in order to be able to work with variety of
providers.

The above is bidirectional, it means that providers should provide the minimum
required PKCS#11 implementation.

Just my view,
Alon.
