Oh, but that question was about the name part, or at least that's how I understood it. So the "name" in #1050 has nothing to do with new algorithms as such, but the *tag name* was specifically chosen to support any new signing algorithms that might get used in OpenPGP without having to add new specific tags like with DSA/RSA now (and then reflect those changes through all the scripts that query for those specific tags etc etc). Not sure if it gets communicated in #1050 but part of the idea is to unify all signatures under the same tag so when people want to do queries on signatures, there's just one place to look at.
