Comments
The changes to table 5.3 looks good. BTW, the particular PKCS#11 v3.0 spec for the current supported mechanisms can be found at https://docs.oasis-open.org/pkcs11/pkcs11-curr/v3.0/pkcs11-curr-v3.0.html

Can we also add links to PKCS#11 v3.0 spec for details on the mechanisms listed in the table under the paragraphs for "SunPKCS11 Provider Supported Algorithms"? The review is still ongoing, we may have to hold back on doc changes until the src changes and CSR has been approved. Thanks!
