Re: DID Hardening: Keys

>   cryptographicPurpose: "Signing"

What about using the JSON Web Key (JWK, RFC7517) format for the 
cryptographic keys? It has a `key_ops` parameter that could bring the 
semantic we're looking for and is already standard.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7517#section-4.3

I realise I'm actually making two different points here:
- requiring that the key be specified in RFC7517 format rather than 
permitting N different formats -- freedom of choice is great but it also 
brings confusion for readers and writers
- specifically, using the `key_ops` parameter for the key's purpose
