We should be removing public key formats from the spec - not adding them. We should get down to one key format to increase interoperability of implementations - preferably JWK.

We should decide (as soon as possible) whether we will be supporting exactly one or more than one key expression format in the DID specification.

Options include: JWK, COSE Key, LD Keys, PEM, or expression of key-like data structures (for things like ethereumAddress).

We will need at least @awoie, @selfissued, @gjgd, @dlongley, @ChristopherA, and @csuwildcat to participate in this discussion.
