Hi Sean,

Actually Sean M and I were talking about that offline on thursday.  That 
file is changing a lot.

The three sections you mention have changed a lot, but the general idea 
is the disabled algorithms are captured and reported after all the 
checks were done.  This is because the we can have multiple signatures 
and one of them maybe allowed.  Throwing an exception on the first 
failure would not pick up a possible second signature that was allowed.

thanks

Tony
