> New hash algorithms are being developed that may include parameters.
> Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) has not currently defined any hash
> algorithms with parameters, but anecdotal evidence suggests that
> defining one could cause major problems.  This document defines just
> such an algorithm and describes how to use it so that experiments can
> be run to find out how bad including hash parameters will be.  
> This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet
> community.

> EXPERIMENTAL: This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the
