selfissued has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webauthn:

== Is AlgorithmIdentifier value a string or an object? ==
The examples for AlgorithmIdentifier use values such as "ES256" and "RS256" - both in WebAuthn and CTAP.  But if the WebCrypto normalization rules result in these always being objects, we should consider either using JOSE algorithm values to keep them strings or fix the examples.  I think that authenticator implementers will be much happier with strings than objects.
