If the specification requires the server to decide which algorithm to use a naive client, who doesn't know which algorithms are safe or not, is just as dangerous.

As far as I know there are no algorithms that exist today that we can guarantee will never be broken in the future. So algorithm choice inherently must be decoupled from the specification.

EDIT: Or a naive server implementation for that matter...
