This started out as an attempt to align the support with the description, and pinning to encrypt/decrypt/sign/verify gets us very close to what caniuse claims. If we had the ability to selectively ignore notes from BCD, we would use that mechanism here.

It would be nice to some day do https://github.com/web-platform-dx/web-features/ so we can find these things more easily. |

I filed mdn/browser-compat-data#27669 for this. It seems like BCD ought to break out all the algorithms as separate subfeatures. Not sure how much, if at all, you wish to prioritize such a clean up.

Good idea to break it into subfeatures, that would help us here. But doing so would require confirming support in all browsers, which would be a lot of work...
