This is a design choice; not clear which is the right answer.

If we are going to do it, then the right way is probably to have an optional AlgorithmIdentifier as a param of id-external-value.

On the LAMPS mailing list, David vO said that this is not necessary:

I think the argument is that it's hard to imagine under what circumstances you would need to know the algorithm of the key without needing to fetch the actual key.
