Sorry if this was already discussed, but do you know about JWS / JWK?

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7515
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7517

ACME uses them

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-acme-acme/

So there are an increasing number of implementations of this.

There seems to be a lot of crossover with what you're trying to do there 
(encode key type and parameters).

It's B64url encoding but it will let you put everything in one header.
