Somehow I missed this extension when I read the TLS 1.2
spec.  (I probably skipped it thinking they were the same
as the TLS extensions spec.)

Now I'm adding support for it in my server and I have a
question about it:  should the client order the list of
supported hash algorithms in its order of preference?
I would think this is a good idea, instead of leaving it
up to the server to decide.

Mike
