This looks pretty good.  However, I wouldn't throw PKCS11 to the side of 
the road.

https://wiki.oasis-open.org/pkcs11/Meetingminutes/Minutes13012016 
suggests that PKCS11 will have the mechanism numbers probably before you 
get this approved and implemented.  If you ask, they may be willing to 
assign the mechanism numbers prior to the release of the document, and 
that's really all that's necessary.
