Description Eric Roman 2014-11-26 22:55:13 UTC 
The first step of 18.4.4. Normalizing an algorithm says to:

... "with the alg set to a new KeyAlgorithm dictionary whose name attribute is alg"

This is equivalent since KeyAlgorithm == Algorithm. However conceptually Algorithm makes more sense since "KeyAlgorithm" is used to describe the algorithm of a CryptoKey, whereas algorithm normalization is being run over DOMString or Algorithm.

I propose replacing KeyAlgorithm with Algorithm in that line.
