> Same way they found out about WebCrypto itself.

They found out about WebCrypto because some web developer came to them and
asked them to implement it, with a link to the spec.

> Such specifications would only be in scope of the W3C WebCrypto working group.

In which implementors are likely not active participants.  The individuals, not
the organizations.

I have no opinion on what KeyFormat should be, but specifications that add
comefrom-style hooks to other specifications are just a bad idea...  the right
way to add new key formats, imo, is to add them directly to the specification
hat defines KeyFormat (possibly by reference to the spec that actually defines
the behavior, but the idea would be that a single entry point leads, via links,
to all the relevant spec text).
