Photuris generality

["William Allen Simpson" <bsimpson@morningstar.com>]

Because the generality of Photuris has apparently lead to the
misconception that it is applicable to every current and future
cryptographic mechanism, I have added the following Design Notes:

        Although attributes offer great flexibility, only a few
        well-chosen algorithms are specified. This provides opportunity
        for intensive review by the cryptographic community, reduces
        implementation complexity, and improves potential for
        interoperability.
