Hi Geoff,

Thank you for your email, please see comments inline.

(Roque) agree. I believe you meant that as we implement top-down you could use 
the issuer's certificate, correct?

(Roque) agree. And if we do not create any additional error code and if a 
client sends a "issue" request using a non-supported algorithm for a given 
class, the server will respond MUST an error code 1203: badly formed payload. 
correct?

I will add text describing this mechanism in the next version of the agility 
draft.

Regards,
Roque.
