My guess is that would be labelled as a new singular transform with a definition
of how it should be applied (e.g. first do DES, them blowfish, etc.)
Just throwing a bunch of transforms into an SA does not give enough information
for interoperability.  So even if the imaginary example you give were to come into
existance, it would be a single transform called the DES-BLOWS transform or
something like that and have its own draft for standard implementation.
