Going one step further, if the <keygen> element does support multiple

e.g. <param name="dsa" value="some-value">? On one hand, the set of
widely-implemented algorithms seems small and fixing attribute names
like dsaparams="" makes sense. But on the other, allowing params with
arbitrary names seems like a more flexible approach.

Why would it be more flexible to use another element? Surely attributes
are just as flexible.

More importantly, we cannot use an element because <keygen> parses just like <input> and friends.
