RFC7030 defines the CSR attributes.
It says:
   "In addition, a CA may desire to certify a certain type of public key and
   a client may not have a priori knowledge of that fact.  "

and:
  If the CA requires a particular crypto system or use of a particular
  signature scheme (e.g., certification of a public key based on a
  certain elliptic curve, or signing using a certain hash algorithm) it
  MUST provide that information in the CSR Attribute Response.

I think that this means, if a CA wants RSA, then it should include the
attribute sha256WithRSAEncryption ( 1 2 840 113549 1 1 11 ).
It feels odd, because that's not an DN attribute.

I am asking this because my ACP implementation has to deal with RSA
certificates until everything is ECDSA happy.
