@agl Thanks for adding these methods to the spec and Chrome Canary.
The JS to [create](https://github.com/craigfrancis/webauthn-tidy/blob/main/new/js/create.js?ts=4) and [get](https://github.com/craigfrancis/webauthn-tidy/blob/main/new/js/check.js?ts=4) is considerably easier now (well, they will be when available everywhere, or I get the time to create a polyfill).
The only minor annoyance is creating uint8array, and parsing array buffers, so they can be JSON friendly; but I don't think that's something that can be easily changed.
As to the choice of DER Encoding, I think you're right, it's much better than PEM, as that's just adding on an extra layer, which isn't too difficult if you're using `openssl_pkey_get_public()` in PHP:
$pem = '-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----' . "\n";
$pem .= wordwrap($der, 64, "\n", true) . "\n";
$pem .= '-----END PUBLIC KEY-----';
