This is consistent with other formats, and - especially when importing - nicely avoids any complications that could arise while ingesting arbitrary JavaScript objects with their getters, loops and such.

I see - so the proposal is to define dictionaries for each JWK kind, and to rely on WebIDL's algorithm for converting between JS objects and WebIDL objects.

Looks like WebCrypto may be the only spec that will use dictionaries as dictionary members, so this will put some non-trivial burden on implementations. But at least it's defined somewhere.
