Er, I beg to differ, at least conceptually speaking.  There's nothing
stopping a signature implementation, for example, from allowing the
application to set the AlgorithmIdentifier parameters.  As a matter of
fact, we have functionality that supports that, but currently only
for EVP_CIPHER.  For others, direct use of OSSL_PARAM setters is still
possible.

However, it is true that /our providers/ do not support setting the
AlgorithmIdentifier parameters...  yet.

Cheers,
Richard
