When switching to ECC algo, e.g. for AES-256 'equivalency' (fyi, why the keylength naming is as it is: http://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/9901/why-is-the-p-521-elliptic-curve-not-in-suite-b-if-aes-256-is)

	14 	ECDSA Curve P-384 with SHA-384

what's the required form for the <Algorithm length="???"> parameter ?  

	kasp.xml
		...
		<!-- Parameters for KSK only -->
		<KSK>
??		    <Algorithm length="2048">8</Algorithm>
		    <Lifetime>P1Y</Lifetime>
		    <Repository>SoftHSM</Repository>
		</KSK>

		<!-- Parameters for ZSK only -->
		<ZSK>
??		    <Algorithm length="1024">8</Algorithm>
		    <Lifetime>P90D</Lifetime>
		    <Repository>SoftHSM</Repository>
		    <!-- <ManualRollover/> -->
		</ZSK>
		...


Does it need to be SPECIFIED for ods config? as key length,

	<Algorithm length="384">P-384</Algorithm>

bit-depth,

	<Algorithm length="256">P-384</Algorithm>

or, since it's implicit in the curve definition, not at all,

	<Algorithm>P-384</Algorithm>

?
