Thanks.

I would like to keep the flags list a real flags list without
parameters.  Would anything speak against:

   (data
     (flags oaep)
     (hash sha1)
     (label "test")
     (value #11223344556677889900AA#))

I can do this change if you agree.

That is so that the caller can easily see whether OAEP has been used and
that the code needs to be adjusted, right?

I'll look closer at the patch in the next days.
