I can't tell whether you are serious or just blowing smoke. There is no
provision in Photuris for implementing just one of several functions for
which an attribute can be used. The functions that must be implemented
are clearly indicated for MD5, and hopefully will be just as clearly
indicated for other algorithms as they are defined.
This is not an onerous problem, as we are talking about 6 lines of code,
in the case of K-transforms. The I/R is already required by RFC-1828.
There simply won't _be_ any implementations that don't support it.
KISS.
