Undocumented assumption

Forgive me if this is documented already.
There is an assumption about how this bundle will be used which isn't immediately apparent. Specifically it is assumed that the JWTs which this bundle will authenticate are signed using the algo named in encoder.signature_algorithm
. It's not immediately apparent that additonal_public_keys
cannot be populated with the pubkeys of other JWT issuers who may sign using a variety of algos.
For example, if one doesn't change encoder.signature_algorithm
from the default RS256, then one might be surprised to find the bundle treats as invalid JWTs signed using RS512, even when additonal_public_keys
contains the corresponding pubkey.
