If you go to data:text/html, <keygen keytype="notrsa">, and use javascript to query to keytype, it returns 'notrsa'
According to the spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-html5-20121025/the-keygen-element.html#attr-keygen-keytype), if the keytype is not 'rsa', it should return an empty string. The reasoning is to allow for feature detection on browsers that can't provide native encryption.
This bug is particular troubling because it means there is no easy way to detect wether or not iOS/Android browsers support encryption.
