First of all, the keytype attribute should specify which algorithm to
use but it can be in the 'unknown state' and "it is possible for a user
agent to not support any key types at all.". I do not understand why the
keygen element would be implemented with no supported keytype. It would
be really weird and confusing to have a keygen element with no keytype.
This was done as a compromise to Microsoft. That the element is parsed
consistently and exposes the correct API was considered to be the most
important if I remember correctly. (More details can be found in the
[email protected] archives.)
