There are a few places these things are specified -- in the names given to the 
OID arcs, which means looking in SSL, TLS, CMS, S/MIME, etc.  OpenSSL has a 
pretty complete list of those. Another source is in the URI's for things like 
XMLDSig and XMLEncryption.

Your approach of having an 'alias table' is probably the best way to go.
