<T extends Decidable> CombiningAlg<T> getAlgorithm(String algId,
                                                   Class<T> combinedElementType)
                                            throws IllegalArgumentException
```
    Tries to return the correct combining algorithm based on the given algorithm ID.
    
    Parameters:
    
    algId - the identifier by which the algorithm is known
    WARNING: java.net.URI cannot be used here for XACML category and ID, because not equivalent to XML schema anyURI type. Spaces are allowed in XSD anyURI [1], not in java.net.URI for example. That's why we use String instead.
    
    [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#anyURI
    
    combinedElementType - type of combined element
    
    Returns:
    
    a combining algorithm
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - algId is invalid (not registered in this registry)
