Re: [webauthn] Key types and algorithms are confusing

I agree with John that limiting a key to use with a particular algorithm is a good security practice.  This was intentional.

I don't know why you're saying that the curve is not specified.  The COSE algorithm identifiers are specific to particular algorithms, including the curve.  For instance, the ES256 (-7) is specific to a particular curve.
