Can I simply say "RSASSA-PSS with SHA-256"? Otherwise the text is much longer 
than the other rows. That said, we have enough width and no need to wrap.

Also, we used to say HASHwithENC, but here it's "ENC with HASH". Hopefully this 
will not make people laugh.

My original text is

   Precisely, for keysize \<= 3072 bits, use a `PSSParameterSpec` with SHA-256
   as the hash and MGF1 algorithms; for keysize \<= 7680 bits, use SHA-384; for
   keysize \>= 7680 bits, use SHA-512.

So the object of "use" here is the PSSParameterSpec. If I change it to passive 
voice, it will be

   a `PSSParameterSpec` with SHA-256 as the hash and MGF1 algorithms will be 
used,

and `PSSParameterSpec` (instead of SHA-256) will be the noun. The "SHA-384 will 
be used" in the next sentence might not be 100% grammatically correct in this 
sense but I think it's OK and nobody will misunderstand it. (In fact, there is 
the same problem in my original text).

Thanks,
Max

p.s. This is probably the only RFE I can add into jdk15 before rdp1 now. The 
strong p12 algorithms and new CACERTS keystore type won't be ready. I do have 
several bug fixes that can wait till rdp2.
